Clarify goals and rules
Which problem needs to be solved? Which business rules apply, and where do expectations conflict?
Business Analysis & Requirements Engineering
So software solves the right problem.
When goals, business rules and system boundaries remain unclear, developers have to resolve fundamental questions during implementation. KAN Service clarifies these relationships early and turns them into requirements that teams can work with.

From business need to requirement
Understand the problem. Prepare for implementation.
A documented request does not yet explain which rules apply, where exceptions occur or which systems are affected. KAN Service works through these questions with business, development and architecture teams.
Business Analysis and Requirements EngineeringMake dependencies visible
Which system owns which data? Where are the interfaces, responsibilities and outstanding decisions?
Make outcomes verifiable
Describe requirements, exceptions and acceptance criteria so that business and development teams share the same foundation.
Understand the business. Think through the software.
The critical questions lie in the detail.
Experience in software development and architecture brings a different perspective to business requirements. Data ownership, failure scenarios and technical dependencies become part of the analysis from the outset.
This allows outstanding decisions to be discussed before they become embedded in interfaces and code.
Technical Analysis and System Architecture“The data must be up to date.”
Three questions that turn this into a verifiable requirement:
- Time
- What is the maximum acceptable age of the displayed data?
- Responsibility
- Which system provides the authoritative source?
- Exception
- What should happen if the source is unavailable?
A general request becomes specific rules for implementation and testing.
Suitable project situations
When your initiative needs clarity.
At the start of an initiative, before a significant decision or during implementation: the starting point depends on which questions will help your team move forward.
- 01
Define the scope of a new initiative
Clarify goals, scope and affected systems before choosing a solution direction.
- 02
Develop existing requirements
Address gaps, conflicting rules and outstanding decisions in existing documentation.
- 03
Bring business and IT together
Work together to clarify differences in terminology, expectations and responsibilities.
- 04
Resolve recurring questions
Investigate the causes of interpretation effort and rework in an ongoing project.
Working together: The focus is on longer-term assignments. Clearly scoped analysis and clarification engagements are also possible. Preferably in the Bern region, or across Switzerland with a suitable hybrid arrangement.
Experience
Experience where systems meet.
From electronics and software development through architecture to business analysis: Adrian Wildermuth understands the questions on both sides of implementation.

AI and Requirements Engineering
Faster implementation needs clear business decisions.
Faster code does not answer unresolved business questions.
AI-assisted development still needs clarity about the problem the software should solve, the rules that apply and how the result will be tested. KAN Service establishes this business foundation together with those involved.
