Catch requirement defects before they reach QA.
Reads your Jira issues. Catches ambiguity, missing edge cases, and conflicts — inside Jira, without storing your data.
EthicGuard caught 0 defects at the Refinement line so far

Industry research (NIST, IBM Systems Sciences Institute) finds defects get roughly 5×–100× more expensive the later they're found. A bug missed in Refinement and shipped to Production can cost a hundred times more to fix than the same bug caught up front — rework, customer impact, incident response, and re-deploys all stack up.
EthicGuard catches them at the first line — when fixes cost the least.

See every requirement — and where they collide.
Each wedge is one epic, each dot an issue. Green rings are verified, red are open defects. When two teams write contradictory stories, the link between them turns red — before anyone writes code. It's live on your Jira dashboard.

A quality gate, not another AI writer.
Other apps generate acceptance criteria. EthicGuard grades them — and keeps unverified work out of your sprints.
AC quality verdicts
Every in-scope issue carries a clear verdict label — verified, defect, not ready, or no-test — stamped right on the issue.
Defects caught at requirements
Ambiguity, missing edge cases, untestable assertions — flagged in refinement, before anyone writes code.
Sprint-entry gate
Unverified stories can't slip into a sprint. EthicGuard moves them back to the backlog and explains why.
Live coverage & defect graphs
A requirements-coverage donut and a weekly defect trend — auto-mounted on a per-project dashboard.
Cross-issue conflict detection
Catches contradictions between stories before two engineers collide.
Your AI, your choice
Runs on Atlassian Rovo or your own Claude / OpenAI / Gemini key. Same rubric, same verdicts, zero retention.
Do the math for your team.
You're not buying an app — you're cancelling rework you already pay for. Your numbers, conservative assumptions.
Assumptions: 40% of project effort is avoidable rework (Boehm & Basili, IEEE Computer 2001) · ~40% of defects originate in requirements (conservative vs ~50% commonly cited) · EthicGuard catches 25% of those before development. Estimates, not guarantees.

Your Jira content is analyzed, never stored.
To review an issue, EthicGuard sends its text to our analysis engine for a single call — then discards it. We never store issue titles, descriptions, acceptance criteria, or comments. Only structured findings — anchors, scores, and message keys — are kept, so the UI re-fetches your live Jira content whenever it renders. If you uninstall the app, there's nothing left to recover. The same rule covers the free roast tool: pasted text goes to our API and the AI provider for one grading call, is never written to disk, and is rate-limited — no account required, and nothing you paste is ever stored. This website uses Google Analytics for aggregate visit statistics; your Jira content and roast submissions are never part of that. Read the full privacy policy.
- No issue text in our database — ever
- Analyzed in memory, then discarded
- Per-installation cryptographic isolation
- Audit log for every analysis run
