Audit Readiness and Evidence Completeness
Connect each obligation to its controls, evidence, owner and effectiveness, show which artifacts are missing, and produce an evidence-backed preparation and gap report.

At this pace items will still be open on the audit date. Raise the pace, find more help, or agree with the auditor which items matter most.
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.
At 7 a week, 22 items are still open at the audit; readiness 89.7%.
Of 52 outstanding items [S1], the team closes 7 a week but finds 2 new gaps as it goes, a net of 5 [S2]. Over 6 weeks that is 30 items; to finish, the net pace must be 9 a week.
New gaps found while gathering evidence are the number most often left out of such plans, and the one that decides whether the date is met.
Relies on: S1 · Evidence tracker, todayS2 · Weekly closure history
No approval is needed for this result: it is read-only insight, and nothing consequential happens because of it.
What it produces
To protect the date
- Prioritise items the auditor sampled last time.
- Track gaps found, not only items closed.
Limits of this example
- A linear pace; real closure is lumpy and harder near the end.
- Treats all items as equal effort.
- This is a scripted demonstration on fictional data. No model was called and no real organisation, person or result is shown.
