Keep evidence statuses distinct
- Supported by an identified document, within the conclusion it permits.
- Observed during the agreed check, at a specific time and scope.
- Stated by the manufacturer, not independently verified.
- Not established and requiring further confirmation.
Do not overinterpret a photograph
An equipment photograph may show its presence in an accessible area at the time of a visit. It does not, by itself, establish ownership, capacity or the quality of a future batch.
The statement 'the representative described the process; supporting documentation was not supplied' must not be relabelled as confirmed capability.
After reading
Compare the findings with the assignment, identify meaningful gaps and decide the next step. The report does not replace laboratory, certification or legal work where those are required.
Prepare for the next step
Manufacturer verification
A report covering agreed questions, sources, observations, supporting material, unverified information and limitations.
