To collect objective facts for an audit, systematically inspect code and documents to gather verifiable evidence. This process generates a factual Reconnaissance Report with citations to exact file paths and lines, providing an audit-ready artifact without interpretation.

A Reconnaissance Report is a formal document that compiles objective facts and verifiable evidence about a codebase. It helps with baseline verification by providing exact file path and line citations, ensuring downstream analysis relies on auditable, interpretation-free data.

Document the current state of a software project without subjective interpretation by applying a facts-first survey. This method actively inspects code and documents to output a formal Reconnaissance Report, strictly reporting verifiable evidence with exact citations.

Generating an evidence-driven report works effectively for software project handoffs. It systematically investigates code and documents to compile verifiable evidence, producing an audit-ready Reconnaissance Report that ensures downstream teams receive verified, objective facts.

The best way to gather verifiable evidence for downstream analysis is to conduct a deterministic workflow survey. This approach identifies objective facts across the codebase and documents, outputting a formal Reconnaissance Report with exact citations to support further analysis.
