What an organized evidence handoff can look like before fieldwork
Gridex offered this until 2026-07-25. The description it carried at the time was: “A synthetic pre-assessment CMMC evidence-pack structure covering objective mapping, final-form documents, interview owners, test readiness, artifacts, hashes, and open items.”
Assessment-objective index
Final-form and approval status
Examine, Interview, and Test owner routing
Open items preserved instead of hidden
A handoff should reduce search time, not control the assessment
The assessor decides which methods and objects provide sufficient confidence. The pack helps the organization locate relevant material and people quickly while preserving source, version, date, and scope context.
Keep three evidence modes connected
Documents, staff explanations, and observed system behavior should describe the same operating reality. The pack links each applicable objective to likely evidence objects and responsible people without assuming the assessor must use every suggested object.
- Examine: final policies, procedures, plans, records, diagrams, exports, logs, and tickets
- Interview: staff who operate, review, approve, or oversee the relevant process
- Test: the system, mechanism, or activity that demonstrates expected behavior
- Open items: missing, draft, unapproved, stale, or awaiting qualified judgment
Preserve provenance through the handoff
Every indexed artifact should retain its approved source, owner, version, collection date, and relationship to the relevant objective. Copies and hashes should follow the assessment team’s approved procedure.
What the working artifact can contain
| Section | Purpose | Owner | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Objective map | Locate evidence and responsible people | Program owner | Current |
| Final-form artifact index | Confirm approved documents and records | Evidence coordinator | Current |
| Interview roster | Route process questions | Department owners | Scheduled |
| Open-item register | Preserve unresolved work truthfully | Advisor + client | In progress |
Synthetic pack index — actual contents depend on scope and assessment planning.
Concrete, client-owned operating records
Facts, not verdicts
The example is not an official DoD template and does not prescribe the assessor’s sampling or methods. It organizes the client’s truthful preparation record.
Frequently asked questions
Will a complete pack guarantee a MET finding?
No. Findings depend on actual implementation and sufficient evidence selected through the authorized assessment process.
Should drafts be included?
Drafts can remain in the open-work register, but DoD guidance says evidence used for a MET finding must be final rather than draft or unofficial.
Source context
This is reference material, not an offer.
Gridex is a managed operations firm. Managed Voice Operations is the primary growth line and Managed Workflow Operations is the secondary line. There is no dashboard for anyone on the client side to run. The Voice Demo is in pilot as of 2026-08-11. Managed Voice is not yet operating for customers; demo calls are product tests, not customer production. No customer result or tested third-party integration is published. Managed Workflow Operations is the secondary line running today, and it is in validation.
