About the tool

A practical working resource for evidence-led improvement.

An integrated evidence-control and improvement-management tool for accreditation preparation, institutional review and continuing quality assurance. It helps universities maintain a traceable evidence register, assess the strength of each item and convert material weaknesses into controlled actions that remain open until closure and effectiveness have been verified.
