Capability Intelligence Platform

Strategic Infrastructure for Alignment, Capability, and Execution

A conversational AI platform that gives organizations a structured, governed way to assess maturity, track capability, and deliver governed guidance at the point of need — all through natural language.

Core Capabilities

Everything you need to measure and advance organizational maturity

Capability Intelligence

Map organizational capabilities across domains with structured maturity models that create a shared language for assessment.

Conversational Interface

Ask questions in natural language and get precise, governed answers drawn from your organizational data — no dashboards required.

Evidence-Based Scoring

Every maturity claim requires defined evidence. No more optimistic self-assessment — just structured, verifiable scoring.

Governance by Design

Role-based access, RACI matrices, audit trails, and amendment workflows — governance is foundational, not an afterthought.

Cross-BU Analytics

Compare maturity across business units with heatmaps, trend analysis, and gap identification that surfaces actionable patterns.

Local-First Architecture

Your strategic data stays on your infrastructure. No cloud dependency, no SaaS subscription — complete organizational control.

Who This Is For

Built for organizations where capability maturity isn't optional

Coherence Frameworks serves enterprises, regulated industries, and complex organizations that need structured, evidence-based capability assessment — not just spreadsheets and gut feel. Whether you're in manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, or technology, the platform adapts to your domain while maintaining the governance rigor your environment demands.

Explore the domains we build and see real scenarios showing how capability intelligence works in conversation.

Capability Intelligence

Every domain is purpose-built for your organization's regulatory landscape, operational context, and strategic priorities — then embedded in conversation.

Domain Development, Not Off-the-Shelf Templates

Most maturity frameworks hand you a generic rubric and wish you luck. Coherence Frameworks works differently. Each capability domain is developed for your specific context — your regulatory requirements, your organizational structure, your industry standards, your operational reality.

The setup phase is where the real value lives. We work with your organization to build a capability maturity model that maps precisely to your world: which standards govern your operations, which functions own which capabilities, how maturity is defined at each level, and what evidence proves you're actually there.

Once built, that domain becomes a permanent intelligence layer inside your AI conversations — not a static document, but a living system that tracks, measures, and guides improvement over time.

Real Scenarios, Real Conversations

These walkthroughs show what it actually looks like when capability intelligence is embedded in your AI conversations. Every response is drawn from your organization's governed data — nothing generic, nothing hallucinated.

Scenario: Assessment Discovery

A Quality Director connects to the platform for the first time and asks where they stand.

Quality Director We just deployed the Quality Management domain. What are our biggest gaps?
Coherence AI Based on your assessment, your three largest capability gaps are:

Complaint Handling — currently Level 1 (ad-hoc), target Level 3. Your SOP was only approved last month and training isn't complete across all participating functions.

CAPA Management — currently Level 1, target Level 3. No formal process exists beyond the quality team. ISO 9001 Section 10.2 requires systematic root cause analysis across all functions that participate.

Supplier Quality — currently Level 0, target Level 2. No documented qualification process exists. I can show you the advancement prerequisites for any of these.
Quality Director Why is complaint handling so important? We handle complaints.
Coherence AI You handle individual complaints — but Level 1 means the process is ad-hoc and person-dependent. Here's the regulatory reasoning chain:

Regulation: ISO 13485:2016 Section 8.2.2 requires a documented procedure for timely complaint handling with records of investigations.
Your policy: QMS-POL-007 Section 4.1 implements this as mandatory 48-hour triage with documented root cause.
Your SOP: SOP-QMS-019 was approved 3 weeks ago but training records show only 4 of 12 relevant staff have completed it.

That's the gap — the process exists on paper but isn't operational across your organization yet. That's a strong Level 2 trajectory, not Level 1 forever.
What happened: The AI traced from a specific regulation through the organization's own policy and SOP to the practical gap — showing exactly why the score is what it is, and what needs to happen to move it. No generic advice. Every claim sourced from the platform's controlled document repository.

Scenario: Sprint Progress Check

A Sprint Owner checks in mid-cycle to see what's blocking their improvement targets.

Sprint Owner I'm running the Q2 improvement sprint for the Medical Safety domain. What's stuck?
Coherence AI Your Q2 sprint has 4 focus areas. Two are on track, two have blockers:

Risk Identification (target: L2 → L3) — Blocked. Advancement to Level 3 requires training completion for all participating functions. Medical Safety participates in Risk Identification, but 3 team members haven't completed PMS Process training. This is required because ISO 14971:2019 Section 4.2 requires demonstrated competency for all personnel in risk management.

Vigilance Reporting (target: L1 → L2) — Blocked. Level 2 requires an approved SOP. SOP-MS-031 is in draft but hasn't entered the approval workflow. It's been in draft for 6 weeks.
Sprint Owner Who needs to complete that training?
Coherence AI Three people on the Medical Safety team need PMS Process training: Sarah Chen (Assessment Lead), Tom Nakamura (Team Member), and Priya Patel (Team Member). Based on the RACI, the Education Lead for Medical Safety is responsible for scheduling. Should I flag this as a blocker to the governance layer?
What happened: The platform connected assessment data, training records, role assignments, and regulatory requirements to surface exactly what's stuck, who's responsible, and what the regulatory chain of reasoning is. A question that would normally take days of cross-referencing spreadsheets was answered in seconds.

Scenario: Board-Level Strategic Review

An executive sponsor prepares for a board presentation on organizational capability posture.

Executive Sponsor Give me the board-level view of our capability posture across all business units.
Coherence AI Across your 3 business units and 2 deployed domains:

Overall maturity: 2.1 average (up from 1.7 last quarter). 68% of capabilities are at Level 2 or above.

Strongest area: Document Control — Level 3 across all BUs. Consistent execution with audit trails.

Highest risk: Post-Market Surveillance in BU-Europe — Level 0. No formal process exists, and EU MDR Article 83 requires a functioning PMS system. This is your most significant regulatory exposure.

Best practice transfer opportunity: BU-North America is at Level 3 for CAPA Management. BU-Europe and BU-APAC are at Level 1. The NA team's process could serve as a model.

I can generate the full layered report — board summary, executive detail, or functional breakdown. Which would you like?
What happened: A cross-BU strategic picture that would typically require weeks of data gathering, normalization, and report writing — delivered in a single conversational turn. The AI identified not just gaps but transfer opportunities, and adapted its communication for a board audience.

Scenario: QMSR Transition Readiness

A Regulatory Affairs Director at a medical device company needs to understand their readiness for the FDA's QMSR transition — the shift from 21 CFR 820 to ISO 13485 harmonization.

RA Director Where do we stand on QMSR readiness? The compliance date is February 2026 and I need to know our gaps.
Coherence AI Based on your Quality Management domain assessment mapped against QMSR requirements, here's your transition posture:

Design Controls — High risk. Your current process follows 21 CFR 820.30 but hasn't been reconciled to ISO 13485:2016 Section 7.3. The QMSR eliminates prescriptive design control requirements in favor of the ISO framework. Your design history files reference 820 subsections that no longer apply. 3 SOPs need revision.

Management Responsibility — Moderate risk. ISO 13485 Section 5.1–5.6 requires a broader management commitment structure than 820 Subpart B. Your management review SOP covers quality objectives but doesn't document resource commitment or communication processes required by 13485.

CAPA — Low risk. Your CAPA process already aligns with ISO 13485 Section 8.5.2–8.5.3. Minor documentation updates needed but the process is substantially equivalent.

Purchasing Controls — High risk. 21 CFR 820.50 is being replaced by ISO 13485 Section 7.4, which requires documented supplier evaluation criteria and re-evaluation schedules. Your current supplier qualification process doesn't include periodic re-evaluation.
RA Director Which SOPs specifically need to change for Design Controls?
Coherence AI Three SOPs reference 21 CFR 820.30 subsections that the QMSR replaces with ISO 13485 Section 7.3:

SOP-DC-001 (Design Planning) — References 820.30(b) for design planning requirements. Needs to reference ISO 13485:2016 Section 7.3.2 instead. The ISO standard requires explicit planning outputs including review, verification, and validation stages.

SOP-DC-004 (Design Verification & Validation) — Currently structured around 820.30(f) and 820.30(g) as separate processes. ISO 13485 Section 7.3.6–7.3.7 uses different acceptance criteria language. Your V&V templates need updated regulatory citations.

SOP-DC-007 (Design Transfer) — References 820.30(h) for transfer requirements. ISO 13485 Section 7.3.8 covers design and development transfer but includes explicit requirements for production specification verification that your current SOP doesn't address.

The CAPA team's SOP-QMS-012 is clean — no changes needed there. Want me to flag these three SOPs to the document control workflow for revision?
What happened: The platform mapped the organization's existing QMS documentation against the specific regulatory crosswalk between 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485 — identifying not just which areas are at risk, but which exact SOPs need revision and why. This is the kind of gap analysis that typically takes a regulatory consultant weeks and costs tens of thousands of dollars, delivered conversationally from the organization's own controlled document repository.

How Domain Development Works

Each domain engagement follows a structured process that builds your organization's specific capability intelligence from the ground up.

Source corpus assembly. We identify the regulations, standards, policies, and SOPs that govern your operational area. These become the controlled document repository — the closed system the AI draws from. No open internet sources. Every citation is traceable.

Capability maturity model authoring. Working from your source corpus, we develop the domain spine — the logical structure of stages and capabilities that reflects how your work actually flows. Each capability gets maturity definitions (Levels 0–5) with specific evidence thresholds.

Ownership confirmation. Every capability is assigned to a specific function and team. This is a hard gate — the platform won't let you assess until ownership is confirmed. Because ownership determines which SOPs the AI references, which RACI applies, and whose management review the evidence feeds into.

Deployment and assessment. Once built and confirmed, the domain is live. Your organization can assess immediately, track maturity over time, run improvement sprints, and access the intelligence conversationally — all governed, all evidenced, all persistent.

The Platform

A single system of record for organizational maturity — accessed through conversation, governed by design.

What Coherence Frameworks Does

Coherence Frameworks is a capability intelligence platform that gives organizations a structured, repeatable way to understand where they stand, where the gaps are, and what it takes to move forward. It replaces scattered spreadsheets, subjective assessments, and disconnected improvement efforts with a single system of record for organizational maturity.

The platform works through a conversational AI interface. Instead of navigating dashboards or filling out forms, you ask questions in natural language and get structured, governed answers drawn from your own organizational data. The AI doesn't guess — it queries a comprehensive model of your organization's structure, roles, capabilities, and assessment history.

The Core Workflow

Deploy a capability domain. Start from a curated catalog of domain templates aligned to established frameworks — quality management, cybersecurity, operational excellence, regulatory compliance. Each template comes with a structured spine of stages and capabilities designed for your industry context.

Confirm ownership. Every capability gets assigned to a specific function and team. This is where accountability becomes structural rather than aspirational. The platform won't let you assess a domain until ownership is confirmed across all capabilities.

Define what maturity looks like. For each capability, define what levels 0 through 5 actually mean in your context. What evidence is required? What behaviors should be observable? This creates a shared language that eliminates the ambiguity that plagues most maturity assessments.

Run assessments. Score capabilities against your definitions, attach evidence, and track where you stand. The platform calculates gap scores, identifies trends, and generates heatmaps that show maturity across business units and capability domains at a glance.

Schedule and track. Set up recurring assessment cycles so maturity tracking becomes an ongoing discipline, not a one-time exercise. The platform tracks what's overdue, what's improving, and what's stagnating.

What Makes This Different

Most capability assessment tools are form-based applications that produce static reports. Coherence Frameworks is fundamentally different in three ways.

Conversational interface. You interact through Claude, asking questions like "What are our biggest capability gaps in quality management?" or "Show me the maturity trend for the engineering BU over the last three assessments." The AI returns precise, governed answers.

Local-first architecture. Your data stays on your infrastructure. The platform runs as a local MCP server with a SQLite database — no cloud dependency, no SaaS subscription, no data leaving your environment.

Governed by design. Role-based access control, RACI matrices, controlled document repositories, audit logging, and domain amendment workflows are built into the foundation — not bolted on as an afterthought.

Explore the capability model

See how domains, stages, and maturity levels create the foundation for structured assessment.

Capability Domains

Structured models of everything your organization needs to do well — with evidence-based maturity at every level.

What Is a Capability Domain?

A capability domain is a structured model of everything an organization needs to do well in a specific area. It's not a checklist or a compliance requirement — it's a comprehensive map of the capabilities that drive performance, organized along a logical spine that reflects how work actually flows.

Each domain contains stages (the major phases or categories of work), capabilities (the specific things an organization must be able to do), and maturity definitions (what good looks like at each level, with evidence requirements). Together, these create a measurement system that's both rigorous and meaningful.

The Domain Catalog

Coherence Frameworks ships with a curated catalog of domain templates designed for real organizational contexts. Templates are aligned to established frameworks and standards, but they're designed to be deployed and adapted — not just referenced.

Planned domain templates include quality management systems (ISO 9001-aligned), cybersecurity maturity (NIST CSF-aligned), operational excellence, regulatory compliance, data governance, product development capability, and workforce readiness — including industry-specific templates for manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and technology.

How Domains Work

Templates are blueprints. A domain template defines the structure — stages, capabilities, and recommended maturity definitions. It's authored once, reviewed, and made available in the catalog.

Deployment makes it yours. When you deploy a template into your organization, it creates a working copy. You confirm who owns each capability, customize maturity definitions for your context, and begin assessing.

Amendments keep it current. As your organization evolves, you can propose amendments to deployed domains. Amendments go through a governed approval workflow to maintain integrity.

The Maturity Scale

Every capability is assessed on a 0–5 maturity scale. What makes this scale powerful is that each level is defined specifically for each capability — not as a generic rubric.

0

None

The capability doesn't exist. No processes, documentation, or awareness.

1

Initial

Ad-hoc practices exist but are inconsistent, undocumented, and person-dependent.

2

Managed

Documented processes are in place. People know what they're supposed to do.

3

Defined

Processes are standardized across the organization and integrated into how work gets done.

4

Measured

Quantitative metrics track performance. Decisions are data-informed, not intuition-driven.

5

Optimized

Continuous improvement is operational. The organization systematically advances.

Each level also specifies an evidence threshold — what kind of proof is required to claim that level. This prevents organizations from self-assessing optimistically without supporting evidence.

Learn how the MCP server turns organizational data into conversational intelligence.

How It Works

An MCP server that turns your organizational data into conversational intelligence — local-first, privacy-first.

The Architecture

Coherence Frameworks runs as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server — a standardized interface that lets AI assistants interact with structured data and tools. When connected to Claude, the platform's tools become available as natural extensions of the conversation.

Instead of logging into a web application, opening a dashboard, and clicking through menus, you simply talk to Claude. The MCP server provides Claude with structured access to your organizational data, capability assessments, maturity definitions, role assignments, and governance structures. Claude can query, analyze, and update this data through governed tool calls — all within a conversational flow.

Local-First, Privacy-First

The platform runs entirely on your infrastructure. Your organizational data — structure, capabilities, assessments, governance records — stays in a local SQLite database on your machine. Nothing is sent to external servers beyond the normal AI conversation.

This architecture is deliberate. Organizations assessing their own maturity are working with sensitive strategic data: where they're strong, where they're weak, who's accountable for what, and what their improvement priorities are. That data should stay under organizational control.

Getting Started

Setting up Coherence Frameworks involves installing the MCP server, connecting it to your AI assistant (Claude Desktop or Claude Code), and beginning with your first domain deployment. The platform includes seed data and guided workflows to help you through the initial setup.

Governance you can trust

See how role-based access, audit trails, and amendment workflows protect your data.

Governance & Trust

Built for regulated environments where governance isn't optional — it's foundational.

Built for Regulated Environments

Coherence Frameworks was designed from the ground up for organizations where governance isn't optional. Every feature — from capability assessment to document management — operates within a structured permission and accountability model.

This isn't governance as an add-on. The platform's governance layer is foundational: it determines who can see what, who can change what, and who is accountable for what. It's the difference between a tool that records data and a system that enforces discipline.

Role-Based Access Control

Every person in the platform is assigned one or more roles, each with specific permissions. A governance approver can authorize domain amendments but not necessarily run assessments. An assessment lead can score capabilities but can't change the domain structure. A platform administrator manages organizational setup without overriding governance workflows.

Permissions are unioned across all active role assignments — if any of your roles grants a permission, you have it. This makes the system flexible without being permissive. And every permission check is logged, creating a full audit trail of who did what and when.

RACI Accountability

The platform supports full RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) matrix management. For any process, capability, or governance activity, you can define exactly who plays each role. This eliminates the ambiguity that causes work to fall through cracks or get duplicated across functions.

Controlled Document Repository

Maturity definitions, assessment evidence, policy documents, and governance records are managed through a controlled document repository. Documents are versioned, tagged, and linked to the capabilities and assessments they support. When a source document is updated, the platform flags any maturity definitions that reference it for review.

External sources — industry standards, regulatory guidance, third-party research — can be authorized and tracked with expiration dates. When an authorization expires, the platform identifies which definitions depend on that source and flags them for attention.

Domain Amendment Governance

Deployed capability domains aren't static, but they can't be changed casually. Any structural change — adding a capability, removing a stage, modifying ownership — goes through a formal amendment process. Amendments are proposed, reviewed, and either approved or rejected by authorized governance roles. This protects the integrity of assessment data while allowing the model to evolve with the organization.

Audit Trail

Every write operation in the platform is logged with the user who performed it, the timestamp, and the nature of the change. This creates a complete, tamper-evident history of organizational capability data — essential for regulatory compliance, internal audit, and board reporting.

Foundation & Assessment

The core platform is operational. Organizations can model their structure (business units, teams, people), establish governance (roles, permissions, RACI), manage controlled documents, and run the full capability assessment workflow — from domain deployment through scoring, heatmaps, trend tracking, and scheduled reassessment cycles.

In Progress

Multi-BU Intelligence

Cross-business-unit comparison and rollup reporting. When multiple BUs assess the same domain, the platform generates comparative views that surface patterns — which BUs are advancing fastest, where common gaps exist, and where best practices from one unit could accelerate another. This phase also introduces strategic focus areas that connect capability gaps to organizational priorities.

Planned

Improvement & Workforce

Improvement sprints tied directly to capability gaps — structured, time-boxed initiatives with clear objectives, evidence requirements, and measurable outcomes. The platform will also connect capability maturity to workforce development, mapping competencies needed to advance maturity and identifying training gaps at individual and team levels.

Planned

Board Reporting & AI-Assisted Authoring

Executive and board-level reporting that translates capability data into strategic narrative. Risk-scored summaries, trend analyses, and escalation pathways for leadership visibility. Plus AI-assisted domain authoring that builds custom templates from your own source documents — policies, standards, and process documentation — with full traceability.

About Coherence Frameworks

Infrastructure for restoring and maintaining organizational coherence.

Why This Exists

Most organizations know they need to mature. They invest in standards, hire consultants, run assessments, and produce reports. And then the reports sit in a folder somewhere while the real work continues to be driven by intuition, relationships, and whatever crisis needs attention this week.

The problem isn't a lack of ambition or knowledge. It's a lack of infrastructure. There is no persistent system that connects what an organization says it values with how it actually operates — one that tracks capability across business units, links maturity to evidence, governs changes, and makes the data accessible through everyday conversation rather than quarterly reviews.

Coherence Frameworks was built to be that infrastructure.

The Philosophy

Maturity is measurable, not aspirational.

Every claim about organizational capability should be backed by defined criteria and observable evidence. The platform replaces subjective self-assessment with structured, evidence-linked scoring that means the same thing to everyone in the organization.

Governance enables, it doesn't constrain.

When everyone knows who's accountable, what the rules are, and how decisions get made, organizations move faster — not slower. The platform's governance model creates clarity and trust, which are prerequisites for speed.

Language creates alignment.

When departments use different words for the same things — or the same words for different things — alignment is impossible. The platform establishes a shared vocabulary for capability, maturity, and progress that becomes the foundation for every strategic conversation.

Intelligence should be conversational.

Organizational data is only valuable if people can access it when they need it. Embedding capability intelligence into AI conversation means leaders and practitioners can ask questions and get precise answers without switching tools or waiting for reports.

Data should stay where it belongs.

Organizations assessing their own strengths and weaknesses are handling strategically sensitive information. The platform's local-first architecture ensures that data stays under organizational control — not on someone else's servers.

The Name

Coherence is the quality of forming a unified whole — where all the parts work together in a way that makes sense. In complex organizations, coherence is what breaks down first. Strategy doesn't reach execution. Teams duplicate effort. Governance exists on paper but not in practice. Maturity assessments produce numbers but not insight.

Coherence Frameworks is infrastructure for restoring and maintaining that coherence — connecting strategy to capability, capability to evidence, evidence to action, and action back to strategy in a governed, measurable, persistent loop.

Your Active Capability Domains

Each domain is purpose-built during your onboarding engagement. We develop the capability maturity model from your source corpus — your regulations, standards, policies, and SOPs — so every maturity definition, evidence threshold, and assessment criterion maps precisely to your operational reality.

Typical client environments include one to four domains at launch, with additional domains added as the organization matures. Each domain contains a structured spine of stages and capabilities, all with Level 0–5 maturity definitions specific to your context.

Example: Quality Management

ISO 9001 · ISO 13485

8 stages, 47 capabilities. Process control, CAPA, supplier quality, document control, management review — each with maturity definitions mapped to your QMS policies.

Example: Medical Safety

ISO 14971 · EU MDR

6 stages, 31 capabilities. Post-market surveillance, risk management, complaint handling, vigilance reporting — built from your safety team's regulatory landscape.

Example: Cybersecurity

NIST CSF · ISO 27001

5 stages, 38 capabilities. Identify, protect, detect, respond, recover — aligned to your threat landscape, control environment, and incident response procedures.

Technical Setup

Connecting to Your Coherence Environment

Coherence Frameworks runs as a remote MCP server. Your team connects through their existing Claude Team or Enterprise environment — no separate application, no new login, no dashboard to learn. The intelligence is inside the conversation.

1

Receive Your API Credentials

When your domain development is complete and deployed, we provide your organization with a unique API endpoint and authentication key. These are scoped to your organization's data only.

2

Configure Claude Desktop

Add the Coherence MCP server to your Claude Desktop configuration. Each team member adds this to their claude_desktop_config.json:

// Claude Desktop MCP Configuration { "mcpServers": { "coherence": { "url": "https://mcp.coherenceframeworks.com/v1/your-org", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer cf_your_api_key_here" } } } }
3

Apply the Assessment Skill

Each user type gets a specific skill (system prompt) that shapes how Claude interacts with the platform. Skills determine what tools are available, what workflows are guided, and how the AI communicates. Your admin distributes these through Claude's project or team settings.

4

Start Assessing

Open Claude, ask a question about your organization's capability maturity, and the platform responds with governed, evidenced, traceable answers drawn from your own data. No training required — the skill guides the conversation.

Team Skills

Skills by User Type

Each role in your organization gets a purpose-built skill that determines how they interact with the platform. Skills are system prompts that shape Claude's behavior — guiding the right workflows, surfacing the right data, and maintaining role-appropriate access levels.

How Skills Work

Skills are not access control — they're conversation design. Each skill teaches Claude how to guide a specific type of user through their relevant workflows. A Sprint Owner's skill knows to ask about sprint status and surface blockers. An Executive Sponsor's skill knows to communicate at the portfolio level and focus on strategic risk.

The underlying MCP server enforces governance rules regardless of skill. Role-based access control, RACI permissions, and audit logging operate at the tool level — the skill shapes the conversation, but the server enforces the rules.

Skills are distributed as project-level system prompts in Claude Team or Enterprise. Your admin can customize them, combine them for dual-role users, or create new ones as your organization's usage patterns evolve.

JIT Intelligence — The Training Upgrade

Available as an add-on to any tier. JIT Intelligence transforms how your organization delivers capability knowledge — replacing scheduled training programs with continuous, contextual, governed learning at the point of need.

What JIT Intelligence Replaces

Traditional training costs regulated organizations $1,000–$3,000 per employee per year. Most of it is forgotten within a week.

Process Engineer I need to run a CAPA investigation on the batch failure from yesterday. What's our process?
JIT Intelligence Based on your role and SOP-QMS-024 (CAPA Procedure, v3.1, approved 2025-11-15), here's what you need to do:

Step 1 — Containment: Document the affected batch (you'll need lot number, quantity, and initial failure mode). Per Section 4.2, containment must be initiated within 24 hours of detection.

Step 2 — Root Cause Analysis: Use the 5-Why or Ishikawa method (Section 4.3). Your team's RACI shows you as Responsible, with the Quality Manager as Accountable.

Step 3 — Corrective Action: Proposed actions must reference the specific process step that failed. ISO 9001:2015 Section 10.2.1(e) requires you to evaluate the need for action to eliminate the cause.

I can walk you through each step as you go, or I can show you the last 3 CAPAs your team completed as reference. What would help most?
The shift: Instead of attending a 2-hour CAPA training session, waiting for a refresher, or searching through document management systems, the engineer gets precisely the process knowledge they need, in their specific context, referencing their actual SOPs, at the exact moment they need it. The platform tracks this interaction as evidence of competency engagement — replacing the training record with a richer, contextual capability signal.

What it includes. JIT Intelligence extends the base platform with a training-replacement skill layer. Every user gets contextual process guidance drawn from your controlled document repository — SOPs, work instructions, regulatory requirements — delivered conversationally at the point of need. Interactions are logged as competency evidence.

What it costs. JIT Intelligence is priced per-user because the value scales with your workforce. Typical pricing ranges from $150–$300 per user per month, depending on domain complexity and regulatory density. For a 200-person organization, that's a fraction of what you're currently spending on compliance training programs — with dramatically better outcomes.

What it replaces. Scheduled compliance training, refresher courses, SOP lookup time, process documentation searches, tribal knowledge dependency, and the "ask the person who's been here longest" workflow. The institutional knowledge lives in the platform, not in people's heads.

Domain Development Engagements

Every tier begins with a domain development engagement — this is where we build the capability maturity model for your specific context. This is a one-time investment per domain.

Standard domain development: $25,000–$50,000 per domain. Includes source corpus assembly, CMM authoring (stages, capabilities, maturity definitions, evidence thresholds), ownership mapping, and deployment. Typical timeline: 8–12 weeks.

Complex domain development: $50,000–$100,000 per domain. For domains spanning multiple regulatory frameworks, cross-jurisdictional requirements, or deep industry-specific capability structures. Typical timeline: 12–20 weeks.

Domain development is the highest-value phase of the engagement. It's where organizational knowledge, regulatory requirements, and operational reality get encoded into a persistent, governed, queryable intelligence layer. This work would cost $150k–$500k through a traditional consulting firm — and you'd get a PDF, not a living system.

What a Typical Engagement Looks Like

We don't do demos of generic dashboards. We have a conversation about your organization's actual challenges — your regulatory landscape, your capability gaps, your current maturity tracking approach — and show you exactly how the platform would work in your context.

1

Discovery Call

30 minutes to understand your organization, your regulatory context, and your current approach to capability and maturity tracking. We'll identify which domains would deliver the most value first.

2

Scoping & Proposal

We scope the domain development engagement — which standards to include, which functions are involved, what the capability spine should look like. You get a clear proposal with timeline and investment.

3

Domain Development

8–12 weeks of focused engagement: source corpus assembly, capability maturity model authoring, ownership mapping, and deployment. Your domain is purpose-built for your context — not adapted from a template.

Your team connects through Claude, applies their role-specific skills, and starts assessing. The intelligence is immediately available in conversation. No training required — the skill guides every interaction.

Who We Work With

Coherence Frameworks is built for organizations where capability maturity isn't optional — it's regulatory, operational, and strategic. That typically means regulated industries (medical devices, pharmaceuticals, financial services), complex manufacturing environments, technology companies scaling quality and security programs, and any organization that's outgrown spreadsheets but isn't getting what they need from traditional GRC platforms.

If your organization has ever paid a consulting firm to assess your maturity, built a capability framework in PowerPoint, or lost institutional knowledge when a key person left — you're who we built this for.
