Built by engineers who understand the problem.

Cadenza comes from people who have lived the problem it solves. Our founding team has spent years developing embedded automotive systems and the safety-critical software that runs them — working daily inside requirements management tools like Polarion, DOORS Next, Codebeamer, and Jama, and under the discipline of Automotive SPICE, ISO 26262, and SOTIF.

Domain experience. Our work spans vehicle, systems, and software engineering across powertrain, braking, steering, in-vehicle infotainment, and autonomous driving — the domains where requirements complexity and functional-safety pressure are highest, and where traceability gaps carry real consequences.

Industry exposure. Collectively, the team's experience spans development programs across a broad set of automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, from established manufacturers to electrification and software-defined-vehicle programs. That exposure shaped a simple conviction: the ALM tools are powerful, but the daily work of keeping requirements traceable, testable, and audit-ready is still far too manual.

Why Cadenza exists. Every ASPICE assessment tends to start the same way — someone opens a spreadsheet and begins manually checking whether each base practice has evidence. Hours of clicking through the ALM. And the assessor still finds gaps. Cadenza automates that work: deterministic NPLF scoring across SYS.1–3 and SWE.1–6, automated traceability with missing-link detection, AI-assisted requirement and test generation, and natural-language search across thousands of items — all on top of the ALM you already use.

We built Cadenza as an intelligence layer, not a replacement. Your data stays in your ALM. Your team keeps its workflow. Cadenza adds the analysis, automation, and assurance that turn a requirements repository into something genuinely ready for an audit.
