What counts as useful evidence?
If a tender asks for NZ$5 million insurance cover, a certificate for NZ$2 million does not establish the requested amount. Check the policy type, currency and when the cover must be in place. A future commitment and current cover are different pieces of evidence.
Our fictional sample report shows how a requirement, supplier evidence and an amendment can be reviewed together. It also shows where a person still needs to resolve uncertainty.
Put your documents beside the checklist.
The free TenderThread workspace helps you organise source passages, tasks and draft answers. The extraction preview uses limited text rules and can miss requirements. AI evidence reviews remain a private pilot.
