01
Upload the approved requirements
Use an approved BRD or equivalent requirements document as the agreed source of truth.
How Parity works
One handover, redesigned. Everything else stays yours.
Parity sits between requirements sign-off and refinement. It creates the structured first draft your Business Analyst would otherwise write by hand — directly inside Jira or Azure DevOps.

Three steps
From approved requirements to a reviewable backlog.
Parity changes one high-leverage handover. It does not replace discovery, refinement or delivery judgement.
02
Parity creates the first draft
Parity identifies roles, workflows, fields, business rules, exceptions and relevant non-functional requirements, then creates an Epic with linked User Stories and Acceptance Criteria.
03
Your team reviews and refines
The Business Analyst validates the output, applies project context and takes the structured backlog into the normal refinement process.
Approximately 99 seconds in current product testing. Processing time can vary, and the output is a structured first draft for human review — never automatically approved for a sprint.
How the estimates are calculated
Five editable assumptions, one transparent model.
The Delivery Capacity Assessment asks for your Business Analyst count and active project count, then applies the assumptions below. Every value is editable on the results screen, and all figures are capacity estimates rather than guaranteed cash savings.
- Requirements docs / BA / month
- 2
- Days to write stories today
- 5
- BA day rate
- £300
- Days with Parity
- 0.5
- Decision delay (months)
- 3
- Parity cost / year
- £20000
- Working days per full-time BA year
- 220
- Delivery days per project
- 60
The model
- Annual BRD volume = Business Analysts × BRDs per BA each month × 12
- Current manual days = annual BRD volume × manual drafting days per BRD
- Retained review days = annual BRD volume × review days retained
- Potential recovered days = current manual days − retained review days
- Potential capacity value = recovered days × fully loaded BA day rate
- Equivalent capacity = recovered days ÷ working days per BA year
Potential capacity value is an internal value of recoverable time. It is not added to avoided hiring or additional revenue — those are overlapping routes to the same capacity.
The upside
Operational leverage without unnecessary disruption.
Increase output per head
Recover skilled time before solving every growth constraint through additional hiring.
Mobilise work sooner
Reduce the manual delay between requirements approval and the first productive refinement session.
Create a repeatable standard
Give delivery teams a more consistent first draft across analysts, projects and clients.
The existing quality gate remains in place. Parity accelerates preparation; your people retain control.
