This is informative practitioner guidance. It does not create or amend GAISSF™, UAIF™, AI-IRF™ or PAI-SF™ requirements; establish an assessment result, readiness designation or certification state; provide legal or regulatory conclusions; or authorize assessment or certification activity. Detailed implementation belongs in COM-017. Evidence-pack preparation belongs in COM-015. The public practitioner journey ends at evidence preparation; any later assessment activity is separately governed and authorized.
