Certification readiness, computed from what you've actually recorded.
Adds the ISO 9001:2015 reference model on top of your core management system. Every clause is there in plain language, your conformance is assessed and dated, readiness is derived rather than claimed, and the evidence pack comes out as a single document.
The same four steps whether you're starting cold or tidying up a system that already half exists.
Define what's in scope, your organisational context and the parties with an interest in it.
Work through the standard in plain language, recording where you stand and why.
Every gap becomes an owned, dated action on the same worklist as the rest of your work.
Generate the clause-by-clause evidence pack and hand it to your auditor.
Plenty of tools let someone type “85% ready” into a box. That number is worth nothing to an auditor and not much to you.
In Grace, conformance is recorded as dated assessment events — a state, a justification, who assessed it and when. Readiness is computed from the current assessment of each requirement, with items marked not applicable excluded and the full history kept. If somebody changes their mind six months later, both the old and the new position are on the record.
Gaps with no action against them are flagged separately, because an unowned gap is the one that turns up in the audit.
Illustration — not a real workspace.
Nothing in place yet. Honest, and countable — you can see how much is genuinely untouched.
Something exists but wouldn't survive an audit. Usually the biggest bucket, and the useful one.
In place, evidenced, with the records to show it. Counts toward readiness.
Excluded with a written justification — which the standard requires, and which an auditor will ask to see.
From a demo workspace, not a designer's impression.
Screenshot placeholders — captures pending.
It won't make you compliant on its own, and it won't certify you — that decision belongs to your certification body, and anyone promising otherwise is selling something they can't deliver.
It doesn't reproduce the text of the standard. Clauses are paraphrased in plain language with our own mapping; you'll still need your own licensed copy of ISO 9001:2015.
And it doesn't include compliance training courses. If your driver is getting a workforce through training modules rather than getting a management system certified, say so early and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Thirty minutes against your own scope. We'll show you what day one looks like and what the path to audit involves.
