# Supplier readiness: questions and evidence

Planning checklist from Culvion Technologies. This is not a completed supplier assessment, legal advice or a certification. Use it to identify the evidence needed for a particular engagement.

## Status key

- Implemented: supported by current evidence for the relevant scope.
- Proposed: intended for this engagement but not yet established or checked.
- Unavailable: not currently supplied or supported.
- Needs review: the requirement or evidence needs a qualified decision.

A status is useful only when it names its owner and evidence. Leave uncertain items open.

## Before proceeding

Identify unresolved requirements, the person who can decide them and whether they prevent access or delivery. A website description, sample artifact or proposed control does not establish that a requirement has been met.
