The first step on a certification path: rate every control in the standard, track it to a target, and hand a clean position to the evidence work.
AssessEdge is the first step on a certification path. Pick the standard you intend to certify against, rate every control in it on a six level maturity scale, set a target, and see the whole framework as a position rather than a feeling.
It is organised around the standard, not around a topic. That is the distinction from the assessments in the advisory portal: those take eighteen questions on a single business concern and return a costed position and a ninety day plan. This one walks the entire control set of a framework, and it is where a certification programme starts.
It sits upstream of the evidence work. Assess first, prepare second, certify third. The rating is a self assessment and is presented as one throughout, because a structured statement of position is useful and a self awarded pass is not.

Milestones are roadmap targets, not shipped dates. Target for MVP v1.0: Q3 2026. Provisioning is white-glove, never self-serve.
What this establishes. These products prepare you for certification and audit. They do not award either. Every figure is derived from what your organisation reports, and is a documented position rather than an independent verification.
Walk the workspace before anything is provisioned. Start an assessment first and the simulation is populated with your own position rather than a demonstration dataset.
Once this product reaches Live it is provisioned to your organisation and configured to your environment, and its own product website opens. It is not there yet, and we would rather say so.
Provisioning is white-glove rather than self-serve, and scope follows the due diligence review. The stage above is the honest position today, not a target.
