Common questions
What defines the scope?
The systems, business objective and evidence you need determine the scope. The assets, access, deliverables and timetable are agreed before work begins.
What will our team receive?
A clear account of coverage, evidence-backed observations and prioritised next actions. The proposal sets out the exact deliverables and any follow-up review.
Can this fit an upcoming release or audit?
Share the milestone and the systems involved. The assessment can be shaped around that decision once technical fit and availability are confirmed.
