Catch requirement defects before they reach QA.

Reads your Jira issues. Catches ambiguity, missing edge cases, and conflicts — inside Jira, without storing your data.

SDLC defense lines and the cost-of-defect curve Six software development lifecycle stages shown as defense lines. Incoming requirements enter from the left. Most are caught at the first line — Refinement — EthicGuard's gate. The few that slip through grow visibly larger and shift from indigo to red with every stage they survive — encoding the rising cost of fixing a defect later in the lifecycle. Below the timeline a stack of dots is draggable: grab any dot and drag it across the stages to see its cost (size and color) escalate in real time. move your pointer through this area → EthicGuard Refinement 1× Development 5× Code Review 10× QA 20× Staging 50× Production 100×

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.

What we catch

Six checks on every Jira issue.

Every finding links back to the exact line that triggered it.

01

Acceptance criteria quality

Vague quantifiers and untestable assertions, caught before refinement ends.

02

Missing edge & negative cases

Empty inputs, race conditions, permission edges — the bugs that ship.

03

Cross-issue conflict detection

Catches contradictions between linked stories before two engineers collide.

04

Generated QA scenarios

Ready-to-run Gherkin scenarios, grouped by risk, dropped into your plan.

05

Suggested QA actions

Labels, comments, follow-up questions — to make the story testable now.

06

Company & project policy

Your team's bar, your team's rules — per-project policy tuning.

Zero retention by design

Your Jira content never leaves Jira.

EthicGuard doesn't store issue titles, descriptions, acceptance criteria, or comments. Analysis runs in memory for one call and is then discarded. 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.

  • No issue text in our database — ever
  • Read-only Jira scope, no write access
  • Per-installation cryptographic isolation
  • Audit log for every analysis run
