Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)

Document reference: GFTCL-RTM-001 ยท Framework: GAMP 5 Category 5 ยท EU Annex 11

FortressAI Research Institute ยท Norwich, Connecticut Patents: USPTO 19/460,960 ยท USPTO 19/096,071 โ€” ยฉ 2026 Richard Gillespie

The RTM links every user requirement to its functional specification item, the design element that implements it, and the qualification evidence that verifies it. Bidirectional traceability is a Category 5 expectation; this matrix is the single point of truth for coverage.

Coverage statement

Every URS item traces forward to at least one FS item and one verification activity; every qualification check in the Qualification Catalog traces back to an FS/URS item. No orphan requirements; no untraced tests.
