Engagement model

Which compliance situation brings you here?

Start from the work state, not from a vague consulting package. Each option turns standards and third-party expectations into a clear next step: reusable documents, assessor-style review, or hands-on certification support.

01 Document templates and evidence packs

Document templates and evidence packs

Best for
Teams that already understand the route and can complete the work internally, but need assessor-structured working documents.
What happens
Provide templates, checklists, evidence matrices, and filling prompts that turn abstract requirements into document tasks.
Typical output
Technical file templateEvidence matrixChecklistFilling prompts
View document packs
02 Gap analysis of existing technical files

Gap analysis of existing technical files

Best for
Teams with risk analysis, design notes, test records, or process files, but unclear whether the evidence will withstand review.
What happens
Review current evidence against the applicable route, mark gaps and weak arguments, then convert issues into an actionable remediation backlog.
Typical output
Gap analysis reportClause-to-evidence mapIssue priorityRemediation backlog
Request a gap review
03 Certification co-pilot, technical writing, and design-stage review

Certification co-pilot, technical writing, and design-stage review

Best for
Projects under certification pressure, or teams that want compliance requirements, testing evidence, and technical files planned during design.
What happens
Support the certification path, draft or rewrite technical documents requested by third-party bodies, and identify evidence issues during design reviews.
Typical output
Submission-ready technical filesReview comment responsesDesign-stage compliance notesCertification co-pilot plan
Discuss co-pilot support

Applicable Standards

Review trail

Whichever option you choose, the work is organized around evidence that a third-party assessor can follow.

01

Scope first

Clarify product boundary, intended use, target market, standard route, and exclusions.

02

Then review evidence

Check whether risk analysis, architecture notes, process files, test records, and technical files support one another.

03

Close weak points

Prioritize issues most likely to become findings instead of spreading effort evenly across documents.

04

Package for review

Package the final argument, evidence index, and third-party responses into a reviewable set.
