Every project begins with a decision situation. Whether you're bidding on a contract, validating requirements, or planning resources, you need clarity - not more complexity.

We built Contexta because we saw teams drowning in documents, missing critical requirements, and making costly guesses. Our AI doesn't just extract data - it builds understanding through context.

The result: Structured requirements, reliability scores, gap analysis, and cost estimates - all from your source documents in minutes, not days.

CEIUS (Context, Evidence, Interpretation, Uncertainty, Synthesis) is the structured reasoning framework that powers Contexta. It provides a methodology for making decisions with incomplete or ambiguous information.

Contexta Studio is the performance engineering and NFR governance platform. Two components work together: a SaaS dashboard for NFR management, results analysis, and sign-off governance, plus a standalone execution framework deployed in your Azure subscription for distributed load testing.

Studio Dashboard (SaaS)

NFR templates, systems, lifecycle management, JTL results upload, auto-evaluation, release tracking, sign-off workflows, 8 report types, and AI support agent.

Execution Framework (Client Azure)

JMeter master + auto-scaling workers, Terraform infrastructure, Azure DevOps pipelines, 14-step analysis, mock services with OIDC/Entra ID auth, evidence archival.

Paul Lewis

Founder

With over 35 years in IT, from mainframes to cloud-native architectures, Paul has seen the same problem repeat across every project: critical decisions made on incomplete information.

The CEIUS framework emerged from years of leading performance engineering teams at NHS Digital, DWP, and MOJ, where the cost of missed requirements meant failed tests, blown budgets, and uncomfortable conversations.

Contexta Studio grew from the same experience — a structured, opinionated approach to NFR management and performance testing that removes the guesswork and gives teams a proven governance framework from day one.

Aggressive extraction: 50-200+ requirements per document. Better to filter than miss.

90-100% Green - High confidence, ready to use
75-89% Light Green - Good confidence, minor gaps
60-74% Amber - Medium confidence, consider clarification
40-59% Orange - Low confidence, needs clarification
0-39% Red - Very low confidence, do not proceed
