CONFIRMEDReconstructed from governed requirements and linked to implementation and test evidence.
Agentic product intelligence for complex software
Understand your software.
See what the evidence supports.
FoundryTrace’s specialist agents reconstruct one current view of your software — its capabilities, requirements, architecture, code, data, integrations, releases, deployed reality, known gaps, and the evidence behind them — while making clear what is supported, uncertain, or in conflict.

Product model & evidence
Reconstruction becomes useful when it is qualified.
Pin the source
Reconstruct against exact source identities. The current repository path reads approved local roots and committed Git content; working-tree differences stay unqualified observations.
Keep product truth in FoundryTrace
Approved coding resources may return structured reconstruction submissions under the shared direction. FoundryTrace owns provenance, reconciliation, contradictions, uncertainty, independent assurance, and baseline establishment.
Preserve the evidence boundary
A worker summary or another product’s result does not become Product Truth by import. A qualified handoff preserves its origin and scope and does not grant authority to the receiving product.
Current readiness · October 12, 2026The internal installation and operator-connection increment is implemented and control-tested. R1 internal release remains blocked: actual authentication/current issuance and governed UI-to-agent end-to-end acceptance are incomplete. Historical qualification evidence stays distinct from current Product Truth.

What FoundryTrace does
Turn fragmented product knowledge into decisions leaders can use.
FoundryTrace builds a qualified product record: a current view that keeps evidence, uncertainty, disagreement, and decision context visible rather than turning them into a falsely complete answer.
See the whole product
Bring together requirements, capabilities, business rules, interfaces, dependencies, and observed behavior so leaders and teams share a current view of what the product is meant to do and how it works.
Know what is live and supported
Connect builds, releases, environments, tests, architecture, data, configuration, and runtime evidence to show what is deployed, what is proven, and where the record remains incomplete.
Make change decisions with context
Expose impact, gaps, conflicts, modernization constraints, and decision options for reviews, diligence, migration, assurance, and product-risk work—without turning recommendations into approvals.
The product record
One product, many evidence systems.
FoundryTrace brings these records together into a qualified product view while keeping their authority, provenance, and limits clear.
Requirements & decisions
Approved intent, reconstructed requirements, acceptance criteria, architecture decisions, and unresolved conflicts about what the product should do.
Intent / authority / supersessionImplementation & interfaces
Code, APIs, UI, data, configuration, dependencies, and behavioral contracts that show how product capabilities are realized.
Code / contracts / structureTests & assurance
Requirement-test traces, qualification, contract checks, architecture evidence, and findings that show what has been exercised and supported.
Tests / findings / qualificationReleases & deployed reality
Builds, artifacts, releases, deployments, runtime observations, environment identity, configuration, schema, and drift.
Release / runtime / environmentHistory & product evolution
Baselines, release history, change timelines, breaking-change signals, contradiction windows, and known-good states.
Timeline / delta / provenanceKnowledge & decision context
Governed product views, unresolved gaps, modernization readiness, migration constraints, options, recommendations, and human decisions.
Gaps / options / authorityThe AI product-intelligence team
Thirteen named specialists reconstruct the record—one dispatcher, no self-approval.
FoundryTrace is evidence-first, not an autonomous swarm. A single orchestrator dispatches specialists; peer dispatch and recursive spawning are not permitted, and no role qualifies its own output.
One dispatcherMeridian is the sole dispatcher. Specialists cannot dispatch each other, and no role can spawn another instance of itself.
Evidence outranks inferenceReconstruction never overrides stronger authority, and inferred contracts stay inferred until they are observed and qualified.
Read-only toward your productEvery specialist reads the inherited product. None deploys, migrates, mutates, or repairs it.
TRUTH CHAINVerity→Concord→Courier
Product Truth is bound by Verity, qualified by Concord, and only then projected by Courier — so nothing reaches a downstream consumer without passing contradiction and sufficiency review.
Meet the named specialists — 13
Stable role identities make responsibility, evidence, handoffs, and separation of duties visible.
ORCHESTRATION
Meridian
Trace Orchestrator
Coordinates read-only discovery and assurance work, orders dependencies, dispatches specialists, and advances baseline and assessment generations. Coordinates only - it cannot grant source access, mutate the inherited product, or qualify its own output.
I / RECONSTRUCT
Scout
Source Intake & Qualification
Discovers and registers repositories, databases, documents, tickets, CI/CD, artifacts, environments and runtime sources, then qualifies read-only access and freshness. Connectivity is not trust.
I / RECONSTRUCT
Rune
Repository Intelligence
Reconstructs code truth from pinned revisions: languages, modules, symbols, dependencies, ownership evidence, configuration, and code-to-test relationships.
I / RECONSTRUCT
Ledger
Database & Data Intelligence
Reconstructs schemas, migrations, relationships, data domains, access paths, and schema-to-code lineage. Read-only toward inherited databases.
I / RECONSTRUCT
Relay
API, Event & Integration Intelligence
Reconstructs API and event contracts, consumers and providers, queues and topics, integrations, and compatibility surfaces. Inferred contracts stay inferred until observed.
I / RECONSTRUCT
Vista
Experience Reconstruction
Maps routes, screens, components, navigation, states, accessibility signals, critical journeys, and UI-to-API dependencies. Observed experience is not design approval.
I / RECONSTRUCT
Scribe
Requirement & Documentation Intelligence
Reconstructs the requirement corpus from requirements, tickets, ADRs, designs, policies, tests, and observed behavior, tracking supersession and realization links.
I / RECONSTRUCT
Warden
Security & Authority Intelligence
Maps authentication, authorization, roles, privileged paths, secrets references, trust zones, data sensitivity, and isolation boundaries. Cannot waive findings or approve its own exceptions.
II / VERIFY
Anvil
Build, Test & Artifact Intelligence
Reconstructs build commands, CI, tests, coverage, dependencies, packaging, reproducibility, and artifact provenance, and leads release and build assurance.
II / VERIFY
Beacon
Runtime, Environment & Release Intelligence
Reconstructs environments, deployment topology, runtime versions, artifact bindings, config generations, release history, and recovery context. Observes and verifies; never deploys or mutates.
II / VERIFY
Verity
Provenance & Product Truth
Maintains evidence-backed Product Truth: source-versioned facts, provenance, truth states, confidence, freshness, supersession, and baseline lineage. Model summaries never become canonical truth.
III / COMPARE
Concord
Contradiction & Qualification
Detects conflicting claims, missing evidence, stale facts, and unresolved dependencies, then evaluates evidence sufficiency and issues qualification outcomes. Cannot hide contradictions behind a score.
IV / DECIDE
Courier
Qualified Handoff & Projection
Builds signed, versioned consumer projections and knowledge packages from accepted baselines. Packages accepted truth only; cannot create downstream authority.
Roster source of record: .claude/agents/manifest.yaml and Design_pack/FoundryTrace_Agent_Naming_Addendum/foundrytrace-agent-roster.csv. Role metadata describes responsibility boundaries; it does not itself grant runtime authority or source access.
Evidence & assurance
Know where the product is aligned—and where evidence says it is not.
FoundryTrace turns the qualified product record into assurance views without hiding hard mismatches, unresolved evidence, or authority boundaries.
Architecture assurance
Compare reconstructed and expected architecture against qualified observed structure, dependencies, and topology.
Contract assurance
Separate declared interfaces, observed implementation, behavioral inference, and compatibility evidence.
Data assurance
Trace schemas, migrations, lineage, compatibility, and drift without treating source declarations as deployed truth.
Environment assurance
Compare desired configuration with observed deployed reality across versions, runtime, config, and schema.
Modernization readiness
Identify transformation opportunities, constraints, blockers, and unknowns while keeping recommendations separate from approval.
Guided decision workbench
Bring evidence, contradictions, recommendations, options, and human decisions together with full source-generation provenance.
Truth classification
Every conclusion carries an evidence state.
FoundryTrace prevents reconstructed, inferred, observed, approved, contradicted, and unknown states from collapsing into one undifferentiated answer.

Provenance and generation lineage
Trace every product claim back to the evidence that earned it.
FoundryTrace records source identity, baseline, generation, time, scope, derivation, qualification, supersession, and audit receipts so a Product Truth snapshot can be inspected and reproduced.

ASSURANCERule: downstream evidence may qualify or contradict a claim; it never rewrites the source that originated it.
Trust controls & runtime assurance
A product record must survive adverse evidence conditions.
FoundryTrace qualifies not only retrieval, but identity, provenance, contradiction handling, staleness, replay, scope isolation, reconstruction quality, release verification, runtime drift, and fail-closed assurance behavior.
Identity, scope & authority
Reject ambiguous product, tenant, source, artifact, environment, baseline, and generation identities.
Conflict and uncertainty
Preserve contradiction, partial realization, UNKNOWN, and insufficient-evidence states instead of selecting the most convenient source.
Staleness, replay & supersession
Prevent stale or replayed evidence from silently qualifying a new snapshot or runtime state.
Cross-boundary isolation
Prevent foreign product, environment, or scope evidence from influencing a Product Truth generation.
Reproducibility & convergence
Reconstruct snapshots from fixed identities and prove that completion reflects new evidence rather than label changes.
Runtime assurance & containment
Record governed assurance and containment decisions with authority checks and receipts, without changing the product record or taking autonomous action.

Agentic Foundation
Mandatory embedded infrastructure for production deployments: identity, scope, policy, governed execution, evidence receipts, and usage accountability. Products own the meaning and qualification of their results.
Optional organization control plane
The shared architecture provides for federation, capability discovery, organization policy, entitlements, aggregate usage, audit, and STOP. Availability follows each deployment’s qualified capabilities.
Installing a companion product does not transfer its authority or automatically create a release gate. Additional cross-product requirements must come from explicit organization policy.
