Method

Three properties of the audit.

Complete reading

Each mapped document is read in full against each clause in scope. Coverage is reported per clause.

Records checked against your procedures

CAPA and NCR records are verified against each requirement of the governing SOP, in the same audit run.

Auditor adjudication

Each finding is confirmed, dismissed or reclassified by your auditor. Dismissed findings are excluded from the exported record.

01 – 02

Upload and classify

Documents are accepted as PDF, DOCX and XLSX, up to 50 per upload, in their existing format. Each document is assigned a type (procedure, record, policy or work instruction) and mapped to the clauses it is expected to satisfy. The mapping can be reviewed and corrected before analysis runs.

Analysis of documents and records

Two layers run in the same audit. Procedures, policies and work instructions are read against the standard. Records are checked against the procedure that governs them.

Layer 1 · documents against the standard

Each mapped document is read in full against each clause in scope, for any of nine supported standards. Findings are graded per ISO 19011 as Major NC, Minor NC, Observation or OFI. Clauses not yet covered by any document are reported as not assessed.

Layer 2 · records against your procedures

A CAPA or NCR record is checked against each requirement of the SOP that governs it. The procedure is the reference for a record. Available for CAPA and NCR records. Record verification →

04

Evidence and citations

Each finding cites its source document, page and paragraph. Opening a citation displays the source page with the cited passage highlighted, next to the finding it supports. Findings without supporting evidence are not produced.

Adjudication and export

The audit workspace

Each audit opens as one workspace with eight views.

The run produces one audit. Its views hold the readiness verdict, coverage, documents, findings, records, remediation plans, the document network and the exports.
