Evidence and findings to check and build on
The output combines clause-by-clause automated findings with a section overview. Use it as an initial analysis: check each label against the supplied evidence and apply your knowledge of the client’s operation.
The analysis itself
The detailed assessment organises the supplied documentation against each requirement in the selected standard.
- Assessment labels are compliant or non-compliant, reflecting only the documentation supplied.
- Evidence and non-compliance commentary reference the specific documents supplied.
- Action, target date and verification fields are included for review and follow-up work.
The overview / KPIs
A numeric summary of how the supplied documentation is assessed across each section of the standard.
- Track total requirements versus compliant and non-compliant counts.
- Navigate sections in the same order they appear in the standard.
- Use the overview to triage focus areas quickly.
