What does the free ISO 9001 audit-readiness assessment check?

Twelve clause areas an auditor actually samples at a small shop: documented procedures (4.4/7.5), calibration records (7.1.5), training records (7.2), part traceability (8.5.2), receiving inspection and cert verification (8.4/8.6), first article inspection (8.5.1/AS9102), corrective action (10.2), supplier control (8.4), internal audit (9.2), management review (9.3), work instructions (7.5), and project quality plans (ITP).

Do I need to sign up to take the assessment?

No. There is no signup to start and answers stay in your browser. An email is only needed if you choose to have your results and the free 6-clause gap-assessment worksheet sent to you.

What do I get at the end of the assessment?

A 0-100 readiness score, a prioritized punch-list of your real gaps, and for each gap the specific editable Word template that closes it -- so the output is an action list, not just a number.

What the 12 checks cover

Each question maps one ISO 9001:2015 clause area to the record an auditor actually asks for. Answer honestly — “we do it but it’s not written down” scores differently than “documented and I can show it.”

Documented system (4.4 / 7.5) — Can you hand an auditor written procedures (SOPs) for how your shop actually works?
Calibration (7.1.5) — Can you produce a calibration record for any gage or caliper in under a minute?
Training records (7.2) — Can you prove every operator is trained and qualified for the jobs they run?
Traceability (8.5.2) — Can you trace a finished part back to its material lot and the operator who ran it?
Receiving inspection (8.4 / 8.6) — Do you inspect incoming material and verify certs (CoCs) before it hits the floor?
First article (8.5.1 / AS9102) — Do you run a First Article Inspection on a new part before you run production?
Corrective action (10.2) — When a customer complains, do you have a documented root-cause and corrective-action process?
Supplier control (8.4) — Do you keep an approved-supplier list and some way of monitoring your suppliers?
Internal audit (9.2) — Do you run an internal audit (a dry run) before your certification or customer audit?
Management review (9.3) — Does leadership hold a documented review of quality metrics at least yearly?
Work instructions (7.5) — Do operators have clear work instructions they actually follow at the machine?
Project quality plan (ITP) — If you do project or contract work, do you issue an Inspection & Test Plan?

No signup to start. Your answers stay in your browser — you only leave an email if you want your results and the free 6-clause worksheet sent to you. At the end you get a 0–100 readiness score and a prioritized punch-list, with each gap mapped to the editable template that closes it.
