Certification and customer audits shouldn't require weeks of evidence reconstruction. If they do, the problem isn't preparation — it's that the evidence trail only exists when someone assembles it.

Two sites, two audit scores, one problem: they weren't measured with the same instrument. Checklist version drift quietly invalidates audit data and single-source templates are the fix.

The audit is the part that gets scheduled. The write-up is the part that doesn't. Capture-at-source eliminates that second shift — and improves the data at the same time.

A finding marked closed is not always the end of the story. Whether the problem stopped is a separate question, and most audit programs never ask it.
