Why a requirements index beats another summary

Summaries drift. A source-traced index of requirements stays tied to the clauses you uploaded.

Consultants and operators often rebuild “what applies” from memory and ad hoc notes. A requirements index anchors each item to a document and section so you can defend how you got there.

StrataIndex is built for plain text today (.txt, .md) so ingestion stays predictable. Richer formats are on the roadmap. The goal is not to replace counsel — it is to give teams a durable picture of what their sources say, with conflicts flagged for human resolution.
