The program requires the production of a large number of reports able to withstand Congressional, media, and legal scrutiny.

- Reduce remediation cycles by standardizing interview methodologies and documentation standards, catching evidentiary gaps early in the process.

- Coaching inspection teams on maintaining a high standard of compliance and evidentiary proof.
