Source-available · Free alpha · Bring your own AI
DOORS-grade rigour without the DOORS-grade licence: typed artifacts, stable references, baselines, verification runs, documents, and AI agents that propose changes for your team to approve. Source-available. Bring your own AI.
No card. No trial clock. Export your data whenever you like.
Five narrated recordings on the platform’s own requirements project, three on a desktop and two on a phone. No slides, nothing staged.
One place for what your product must do, why, and the proof that it does. Every artifact has a stable ref, a history and typed links, so the answer to “what changed and what does it affect” is a click, not a meeting.
Requirements, user needs, design items, hazards and test cases with stable refs, typed links, version history, suspect-link review and immutable baselines.
Test runs record results against test cases. Coverage, gaps and the traceability matrix update as links change, and the V&V status ships as a PDF.
Agents read your project through typed tools and write back as proposals you approve. Kanban cards launch runs; automations run on a schedule or an event.
Share a link. An interviewer agent talks to the stakeholder and records candidate needs as draft artifacts for your team to review.
PDF and Word specifications with the sections, fields and evidence you choose, from the live project or any baseline; ReqIF for the tool on the other side; a share link for anyone who only needs to read.
Subsystems and suppliers work in their own projects, refine the requirements above them, and verification rolls back up the tree. Owners and reference parties say who is responsible for what.
Needs, requirements, design and tests in one typed graph; agents that propose and people who approve; baselines, documents and share links to hand the result over. The diagrams are on one page.
Your data is never behind the paywall. Export and import stay available on every plan, whatever its state, and a JSON export restores into a self-hosted OpenV.
Import reads JSON and ReqIF. Every download can snapshot a baseline instead of the live project, and the archive download carries your attachments with it.
Free while in alpha, free forever to self-host, and a clear path when your team grows.
The whole product for one person, free. Bring your own AI.
For one person who wants agents working while the laptop is closed.
For companies working on the same products together.
For organisations that need it on their terms.

Prices are per workspace, monthly or yearly, and shown excluding VAT; VAT is added at checkout where it applies, and a business VAT number is accepted. What is free stays free for the workspaces that have it, and export never depends on a plan.

OpenV is source-available, licensed under the Elastic License 2.0. Self-hosting is free for anyone, at any scale: read the source, fork it, change it, and run it on your own servers for your own teams with every feature. The one thing you may not do is sell OpenV to others as a hosted or managed service.
OpenV manages its own requirements in OpenV: the live project holds every requirement the platform is built to, with traceability to the tests that prove it. Contributions are welcome under the Developer Certificate of Origin.
