CI/CD answers one question:
Can we move code through the pipeline?
Release assurance asks a bigger question:
Should this change move forward, and can we prove why?
That requires traceability across requirements, code, tests, approvals, deployment records, documentation, risk reviews, and compliance evidence.
Most teams do not have that in one place. So they reconstruct it manually.
They search tickets. They inspect pull requests. They export test results. They dig through Slack. They collect screenshots. They update spreadsheets. They prepare audit evidence after the fact.
That is not automation. That is operational debt.
