Full QMS: All clauses, all processes — used for annual internal audits.
Targeted: One or more specific clauses or processes — used when following up on findings or auditing a new process.
Surveillance Preparation: Simulates what your registrar will focus on at a surveillance visit.
Recertification Preparation: Full-scope, higher-intensity — used in the 60–90 days before a recertification audit.
Process Audit: Follows a single process end-to-end rather than clause-by-clause.
For a full internal audit, select all clauses. For a targeted audit, select only the clauses in scope. For surveillance preparation, focus on clauses where you had findings at your last registrar visit plus any clauses with recent process changes. The AI uses your selection alongside your organization context to weight questions by risk.

Documents are stored locally in your browser and included in your Excel backup. They are never sent to The QMS Collective. When AI features are used, document content is sent to the Anthropic API using your API key — the same sanitization rules apply as for all other AI inputs.
