The job you're hiring this for
Surviving a regulatory inspection with clean data integrity — no backdated records, every deviation investigated, every CAPA effectiveness-checked.
Weighted questions with auditor guidance, and on most of them the clause each question evidences — ready to run, or to edit into your own house standard.
