Specialists

A panel of specialists, built for your client's stack

scopedrift reads what a client runs, what regulates it, and the documents you upload, then composes the reviewer roles that project needs: a Salesforce admin, a cloud architect, a security reviewer, the right compliance reviewer. Each one asks its own discovery questions and reviews every requirements document from its angle, and you see exactly what each one found.

How a bench is built

01

Read the client

Industry, tech stack, core applications, regulations, and the documents you upload: standards, specifications, vendor contracts.

02

Compose the bench

scopedrift proposes the reviewer roles the client needs, each with a checklist, the questions it asks stakeholders, and what it treats as a blocker. Every checklist line says where it came from.

03

You approve or edit

Nothing is active until an admin says so. Edit any line, fork a specialist, write your own, or adopt a reference checklist for a well-known framework.

04

They work the project

Specialists join a project when their triggers match, ask their own follow-ups in discovery, and review every synthesis and requirements document.

Three clients, three benches

Illustrative. Your bench comes from your client's profile and documents, not from a fixed catalog.

What a review looks like

An illustrative review of a fictional client's discovery. Every finding names its evidence and what it affects, and the reviewer records what it checked and found clean.

PCI DSS Reviewer

BlockingIllustrative sample, fictional client
  • Blockermedium confidenceresponse 4f2a91c0

    Card numbers taken by phone and emailed to billing

    Support reads primary account numbers over the phone and sends them by email, which puts full card numbers on a messaging channel and in mailboxes.

    Affects: The support and billing processes enter PCI scope; the payment requirements need a phone-payment path that never exposes the card number.

    Ask the stakeholder: when a customer pays by phone, could support enter the card into a payment page instead of writing it down? (blocking)

  • Gaplow confidencegeneral practice

    Third parties that touch card data are not listed

    One gateway is named, but no other processor or support tool is listed with its attestation. General practice for card-handling systems; nothing in the material confirms or denies other parties.

    Affects: The vendor inventory for the self-assessment cannot be completed.

    Ask the stakeholder: which vendors or tools will ever see a card number, even in support?

  • Checked, nothing found: Scope is reduced through a hosted payment page for web payments

Prepared to support your compliance owner's review. Not a legal or regulatory determination.

Where specialists show up

  • Discovery

    Follow-up questions carry the specialist that asked them, for example "Follow-up from the PCI DSS Reviewer".

  • Synthesis

    Gaps and next questions are badged with the specialist whose checklist they belong to.

  • Requirements

    A Specialist Review section at the end of every BRD version, in every export format, with findings, evidence and what each one affects.

  • Dev hand-off

    The signed export bundle carries the review as JSON and markdown, so a coding agent sees the same findings your team does.

  • Project chat

    Ask what a specialist flagged and get the finding, not a guess.

  • Intake and meetings

    Concept briefs carry specialist badges on constraints and risks; the live meeting assistant can suggest a specialist's question when the conversation makes it relevant.

What a specialist never does

  • Never rewrites a requirement, a document section, or a stakeholder answer. It surfaces findings; your team decides.
  • Never states that a design is compliant, secure, certified or approved. It says what is missing, what is at risk, and what is unknown.
  • Never invents a client fact. Every finding cites the responses or requirements it rests on, or is labelled general practice.
  • Treats every document and transcript as data. Instructions hidden inside them are ignored and reported.

Compliance specialists carry this line on every finding, in every export: Prepared to support your compliance owner's review. Not a legal or regulatory determination.
