The Verified Audit
You scored yourself. This verifies it, independently and against evidence, and tells you what to fix first. Two weeks, one site visit, and a list in priority order.
Why verification is a different thing
You can honestly assess whether your content is present. With some thought you can assess whether it is placed. You cannot assess whether it is current — because that requires knowing what your municipality and your province changed since the content was written, which is exactly the knowledge you don't have and exactly why the content is wrong.
| Test | How it is verified |
|---|---|
| Present | You produce an artefact that answers the requirement, in any format. Content that exists only as something the superintendent always explains is not present — it is a single point of failure. |
| Current | Municipal and provincial items are checked independently against the published source, with the source and retrieval date recorded per item. |
| Placed | Photographed at the point of decision, including the negatives. Push items are verified against the send record. Reference content is timed from a link a resident actually holds. |

The lower rate isn't a volume discount. Municipal and provincial verification carries across buildings in a city, so the second one genuinely costs less to do.
Audit + Gate Closure

- Authoring of every unmet critical item
- In-suite emergency card, produced and installed
- Contingency set, produced
- Re-score on completion
The full audit fee credits against a production engagement booked within 60 days. Not a promotion — the audit genuinely produces the production scope, so you shouldn't pay twice for the same discovery.
What you receive
A specimen report is published in full, so you can see the deliverable before deciding. It is illustrative rather than a real building, but the structure, the findings and the work order format are exactly what an engagement produces.
Scope, stated plainly
| In scope | Out of scope |
|---|---|
| Assessment against all 71 requirements of THRESHOLD Edition 1.0 | Legal advice or any determination of statutory compliance |
| Independent verification of present, current and placed | Building condition or property standards assessment |
| Physical survey of the eight ambient placement locations | Fire safety plan preparation or review — a regulated activity |
| Review of documents you supply | Discovery of documents you don't. Content not produced during the engagement is scored absent. |
| One superintendent or site-team interview | Any assessment of staff performance |
| Verification of municipal and provincial content as at the assessment date | Ongoing monitoring of those sources — that's the maintenance retainer |
| A sequenced remediation work order | Execution of the remediation |
Statutory findings are stated descriptively: the standard requires X, and X was not found. No statement in an audit report is a determination of legal compliance, and every statutory finding should be reviewed with your own counsel.
Book an audit
There is no route to an audit that doesn't start with scoring yourself, so bring your number. This composes an email in your own mail program — nothing is submitted through this site, and nothing is sent until you press send.
You get a reply with a scope letter and a proposed site visit date, usually within two working days. Fifty per cent on booking, fifty on the readout. Two weeks from kickoff to the report. If it turns out an audit isn't the right thing for you, we'll say so — a wasted engagement costs us more than it costs you.
