Solution
Your Entire Safety Lifecycle. On One Sheet.
IEC 61508 reads your trace as safety evidence. Nextedy makes traceability native to Polarion — hazards, safety functions, safety requirements and verification in one editable matrix, current at every lifecycle phase and every SIL — not assembled before the assessment.

Problem
Traceability Is a Lifecycle Obligation, Not a Deliverable
IEC 61508 expects the trace maintained from concept through decommissioning — and your functional safety assessor reads it as evidence. Most teams rebuild it in Excel before the assessment, from exports that were already stale when they ran.
Links break quietly at every modification. One changed safety requirement can invalidate a chain
nobody has time to re-walk before the FSA.

Solution
One Live Thread — From Hazard to Verified Safety Function
Any Depth. Nothing Flattened.
Trace from hazard down to unit verification — E/E/PE system, subsystem, and software — across as many levels as your process requires. No hierarchy limits, no data loss.
Hazard → safety function → safety requirement → test, unbroken
SIL carried through every level — nothing gets flattened
Every hop is a live Polarion link
Safety Functions, Requirements, and Tests — Linked
See the safety lifecycle side by side — hazards, safety functions, requirements, and verification as connected live views.
Requirements, tests, risks, and design — connected live grids
Follow links across system, hardware, and software levels
Gaps appear as empty cells — instantly visible
Feels Like Excel. Lives in Polarion.
Sort, filter, copy/paste, or edit live — POWERSHEET behaves like Excel, but runs entirely on your Polarion artifacts.
Sort, filter, and bulk-edit in place
Copy and paste between sheets and Excel
Every edit lands on the live work item
Clean Enough for the Assessor
Automatically enforce where new artifacts go, what they link to, and how they fit into your traceability model, no training needed.
Rules decide where new artifacts go
Invalid links are rejected before save
Clean trace data at every FSA stage
Nothing Leaves Polarion
POWERSHEET works entirely within Polarion. No external storage, no data syncs — one record from concept to decommissioning.
No external storage, no data syncs
Polarion permissions apply everywhere
Nothing new for IT to approve
Impact Analysis in Seconds
IEC 61508’s modification clause requires impact analysis. When a safety requirement changes, see every affected function, test, and design element immediately — before the change ships, not after the assessment.
Change impact visible across the whole chain

How Are Products Licensed?
As an annual software subscription. Active users of a given app need a Named Active User license for that product; a Connect license is required per server and gives every Polarion user read-only access to that app's views as a report. A commercial license covers one production instance on one Polarion server, including a load-balanced or multi-node cluster.

Traceability Is How a Safety Case Holds Together.
Traceability Is How a Safety Case Holds Together.
IEC 61508 asks you to show that every safety requirement came from a hazard and ends in a verification appropriate to its SIL. Nextedy runs hazard analysis and traceability on the same Polarion record, so the chain is maintained rather than reconstructed.
