Does this replace an official certification audit?
No. This is a mock audit — a preparation audit. It readies you for the certification audit performed by an accredited registrar (BSI Americas, NSF-ISR, SGS North America, Intertek, etc.) by identifying every gap before they walk in. You remain in full control of your QMS.
Is the AI accurate enough to trust for a real audit prep?
The AI alone is not — and that's exactly why no report leaves QSE Academy without human sign-off. Our tool is purpose-built on ISO 9001:2015 clauses and trained to behave like a certified lead auditor: it asks the right questions, requests the right evidence, and cross-references your documents against the specific requirements of each sub-clause. But AI can miss context, misread industry-specific phrasing, or over-rate a gap. That's why every report is reviewed clause by clause by one of our IRCA-certified ISO 9001 lead auditors before delivery. They confirm major nonconformities, downgrade false positives, refine the wording, and adjust the recommendations to your industry. You receive the combined output — not raw AI.
How can an auditor validate a report in 48 hours?
Our tool runs the full technical analysis: clause-by-clause matching, gap detection, severity rating, evidence cross-referencing. Our certified expert team focuses on strategic review, validation of major nonconformities, and contextual adjustment to your industry. It's efficient division of labor — not a shortcut.
Are my documents kept confidential?
Yes. Your documents are encrypted in transit, processed only for the analysis, and deleted from our servers after report delivery. We can sign a standard NDA if you require it.
Which version of ISO 9001 is covered?
ISO 9001:2015 — the current published version. When the next revision is released, we will update the tool and notify existing customers of the changes to anticipate.
Can I get a refund if I'm not satisfied?
Yes. If the report doesn't deliver value, you have 30 days to request a full refund — no justification needed. Our priority is that you walk into your audit with peace of mind.
Do I need to be a technical expert to use the tool?
No. The tool is designed for quality managers and operations leads. You answer simple questions (Yes / Partially / No) and upload documents when requested. Our tool and certified expert team handle the rest.
Does this work for any industry?
Yes. ISO 9001:2015 is industry-agnostic and so is our audit. We've supported manufacturing, services, software, healthcare suppliers, and SMEs across multiple sectors. Industry-specific extensions (AS9100, IATF 16949, ISO 13485) require their own audit and are not covered here.
