METHODOLOGY

Evidence needs
a clear path.

Connect the question, applicable criteria, records, findings, human review, and next actions. Make uncertainty explicit.

REQUIREMENT

What applies, and why?

EVIDENCE REVIEW

What supports the finding?

FINDING

Confirmed, missing, or unresolved?

SOURCE → EVIDENCE → REVIEW → ACTION

HOW THE WORK PROGRESSES

Define. Map. Assess.
Design. Deliver.

One method, adapted to the project and the decision. The sequence defines the work; it does not promise an approval or certification.

01

Define

Agree the project, jurisdiction, decision, intended use, and scope. Make assumptions and exclusions visible.

02

Map

Identify relevant criteria, resource interfaces, responsible parties, records, and dependencies.

03

Assess

Review available evidence, record limitations, and separate supported findings from unknowns and gaps.

04

Design

Set priorities, responsibilities, specialist scopes, and a phased action plan.

05

Deliver

Coordinate agreed work, review findings, and define follow-up against clear owners and responsibilities.

ILLUSTRATIVE EVIDENCE LENS

A record is the start.
A reviewed finding adds context.

Move the divider to compare the same fictional project record before and after a structured review. This is a demonstration of documentation, not a client result.

50%

Illustrative finding: insufficient evidence for the stated water assumption. The next action is to request a design-stage water balance and identify the owner and appropriate reviewer. Missing evidence is not automatically a failed requirement.

APPLICABILITY FIRST

Different criteria.
Clearly identified.

Binding requirement

Applicable legal or regulatory obligations need a jurisdiction, scope, source, and appropriate review.

Recognized standard

A named standard has its own scope, version, and requirements; it is not automatically law.

Best practice

A useful practice should be identified as a recommendation and justified for the context.

Voluntary benchmark

An optional comparison must not be presented as a mandatory requirement.

HUMAN REVIEW & INDEPENDENCE

Trace the evidence.
Respect the boundary.

Assessment preparation, specialist delivery, and independent assurance are different roles. Competence, scope, conflicts, and review arrangements should be defined for the engagement. LEAIF remains a developing framework; no current accreditation is claimed.
