A Trust and Security area for customers
Security and procurement teams ask the same questions again and again, and the answers are scattered.

Resolve what is missing or out of date. Evidence counts only when it is attached, or when its owner confirms it is current; the sign-off needs the stated completeness.

The answer
Simulated answer. Written for this fictional case, not produced by a live model. Only the figures in it are computed, from what you decided above.
The Trust area content is 47.4% ready; publishing needs 100%.
Four items are ready [S1][S2]. The sub-processor list needs a review date, and the customer controls guide needs review. One item is not a document that can be supplied: no independent security assessment has been commissioned, so the area must say so plainly rather than imply one.
3 still open (List of sub-processors and what each does; Summary of an independent security assessment; A guide to how a customer restricts or revokes access). Stating an absence honestly is also evidence: a Trust area that says what is not yet held is more credible than one that implies it.

Review and approval
The head of security and trust, with legal decides. Approving releases the Trust area content as written. It does not state or imply any certification, audit or assurance the company does not hold.
Not ready to approve. Evidence is 47.4% complete; the sign-off needs 100%.
In the product this is a different person with the right permission. Here you play that role to see the rule.
What it produces
Limits of this example
- Readiness is about content, not the underlying security.
- Where something is not held, the content says so; it is never rounded up.
- This is a scripted demonstration on fictional data. No model was called and no real organisation, person or result is shown.

- Permissions, approvals and an audit trailWhen something goes wrong, nobody can say who could do what, who approved it and when.
- Answers that show their evidenceA fluent answer that cannot show where it came from is a risk, not a help.
- Retention, holds and where work is processedRecords are kept too long or deleted too soon, and nobody can show why.
