A component is changing.
Review where the component is used, the agreed specification and the evidence required to evaluate the alternative.
Change control & impact intelligence
See what changes before you approve the change.
A proposed revision is the start of a decision. Follow its connections to the product, supplier, evidence and operational work, then compare the responses your team can take.
For engineering, quality, supply chain and operations teams reviewing changes together.
Change control / connected targetsInspect screen
01 / Define the signal
Start with what happened. Keep the source.
A supplier proposes an alternate part. A test result calls a requirement into question. A document revision changes an operating instruction. Define the signal and the records it concerns so the team can investigate a specific event.
A result needs attention.
Connect the observation to the relevant product, risk, test or operational record and identify the people who need to review it.
An instruction will change.
Identify the affected procedure, supporting documents, assigned reviews and work that depends on the revision.
02 / Follow the relationships
Six questions before the next move.
What does it touch?
Follow the represented connections between requirements, product structures, suppliers, documents and work.
What may be delayed?
Identify work that depends on a decision or on evidence that is still missing. Review the assumptions behind that dependency.
What needs another look?
Surface affected verification, risk controls or supporting records for a qualified reviewer to assess.
Whose approval is needed?
Bring the proposed scope and evidence to the participants responsible for authorizing the change.
What evidence is required?
Separate available supporting records from tests, documents and confirmations that still need work.
What should happen first?
Use dependencies and unresolved conditions to organize the next actions rather than treating every task as independent.
The connecting layer
See how Impact Intelligence works → The Verification Graph Engine (VGE) follows the relationships represented in your data. Impact Intelligence brings that context into the decision. Reviewers can examine the sources and gaps before acting on a result.
03 / Compare the responses
Put the alternatives beside the evidence.
Compare two configurations: a reference and a candidate. Keep their assumptions, evidence and remaining questions visible so a recommendation can be reviewed. Additional candidates can be evaluated in a subsequent comparison.
Planning example / a proposed alternate component
Continue the current configuration
Review the current source, available evidence and any constraints that prompted the case.
Evaluate the proposed alternative
Review changed dependencies, required verification and approval conditions for the candidate.
04 / Prepare the decision
The analysis belongs with the change record.
- SCOPEIdentify the targets
Keep the affected product and related records with the proposed change.
- EVIDENCEResolve the review questions
Connect risk assessment, validation planning and supporting documents.
- AUTHORITYSubmit for the right review
Use the configured approval process and responsibilities.
- EXECUTIONApply the approved decision
Follow the effectivity and execution conditions established for the change.
Start with your workflow
Bring a change your team is trying to understand.
A component, a specification, a supplier or a procedure. We will trace the relevant records and review how your team could evaluate the next action.
