Evidence checklist · 8 MIN
Check your operating model
Identify missing owners, controls, and recovery evidence. Create a practical action list.
The situation
A fictional team wants to release an internal expense app. Its feature tests pass, but nobody has tested recovery or assigned incident cover. Use the example to find what remains before you assess your own service.
What to do
- Select Expense app example. Read the stated evidence and the resulting action list.
- Select Start my assessment to clear the example. Assess one service. Use Evidence verified only for a current document or test result.
Start with an example
Each example fills the fields below and shows the result. You can then change the values yourself.
Assess one limited service or use case. Select “Evidence verified” only when you can identify a current document or check result.
What do the choices mean?
- Unknown
- You cannot identify current evidence. For example, no recovery exercise has been run.
- Partial evidence
- Some work exists, but the requirement is not fully verified. For example, recovery instructions exist but have not been tested.
- Evidence verified
- You can identify a current document or test result that covers the whole statement. For example, a recovery test records its result and responsible person.

This is not a maturity rating or approval to proceed. First address the action that prevents the most material harm. Assign an owner, due date, and evidence for acceptance.
TO FINISH
The feature tests pass. What is the first useful action before release?
Compare your answer with the explanation
Assign a person to lead the recovery test and record its result. Also assign incident cover and verify the remaining gaps. A passing feature test does not prove that the team can restore or support the service. Prioritize actions by their possible harm, not by the order of this list.
Use this at work
Take one missing item to your team. Agree on its owner, due date, and the evidence needed to close it.
