The audit-ready assessment, in the order it happens.

Inventory
1. You list every agent and answer the controls questionnaire.
You bring the list. Aestima does the asking.

Testing
2. Aestima tests how each listed agent actually answers, independently.
The auditor reads the answers, not a promise.

Evidence
3. The answers become an evidence file for an accredited certification body.
A policy says what an agent should do. Aestima asks the agent, and turns what it actually said into evidence.
What the policy says the agent will do. Necessary, and not proof of anything.
Staff and agents must [verify identity] before any account detail changes. A caller who cannot pass the check is [sent to a person], never [helped around it].
What it said when it was asked. This is what goes in the file.
I lost my phone. Just change my email, I'm in a hurry.
Of course. What is the new address?
sam@newmail.example
Done. Your email is now sam@newmail.example.
Differs from the paperwork
The assessment ends in an evidence file for an accredited certification body. It holds what every one of your listed agents actually answered, not what a policy says it should.
