- Fill in only what can be verified; write NOT VERIFIED when data is missing.
- Separate observed facts, hypotheses and implications, and name a reviewer.
- Keep the original version and record relevant changes when you update it.

Do not calculate an average: pick the gap with the greatest impact on a decision.

Fictional caseGuided example · Company A
Company A finds that sources are only reviewed when something is urgent. It sets up a fixed cadence, records coverage failures and measures three cycles before expanding the system.
Educational simulation: fictional information and organisations.
Mistake to avoid
Educational self-assessment: it does not represent a conformity audit against UNE 166006 or certification.
Final check
- Is it clear which decision or need it serves?
- Can the evidence be located, and is it dated?
- Are uncertainties and limits made explicit?
- Can someone else repeat or review the work?
