Questions consultants ask

Does Standard V provide consultancy?

Standard V provides automated documentation gap analysis to support your work. You lead the engagement, review the findings and advise your client.

Does the output still need my review?

Yes. Automated findings can contain errors or miss context. Review them against the source evidence and the official standard, and use your professional judgement to decide what needs further investigation.

Does it assess what happens on site?

The automated analysis assesses the documents supplied. It does not independently verify working practices or conditions on site and does not replace the site checks your engagement requires.

What do I receive?

An online analysis and an Excel download, with findings organised against the selected standard and a section overview. View the example report to see the format.

Which standards are available, and what does it cost?

BRCGS Food Safety Issue 9 and Packaging Materials Issue 7 are available at £395 + VAT per assessment, with no subscription. Contact us to discuss other standards.

How long does it take to receive my report?

Processing often finishes within a few minutes, but this is not guaranteed. The contractual delivery window is within seven days of order acceptance.

Can I delete my data?

Yes. You can delete files for completed orders through the customer portal or request deletion. Completed-order files are otherwise deleted automatically after 365 days; abandoned uploads are deleted within 24 hours.

Can I discuss a client engagement before ordering?

Yes. Email support@standard-v.com with the standard you work with and a brief outline of what you need. You do not need an account to enquire.
