What was examined
The organisation or site, reporting period, assessment route, product and edition define the boundary of the result.
Trust & Transparency
A clear basis for understanding and using your results.
Assessment findings are most useful when the scope, evidence position and level of review are clearly explained. This page outlines the principles that help users, clients and other readers interpret NatureSynth results responsibly.
Understanding your result
The findings and their context belong together.
What supports the findings
Your report distinguishes recorded responses, supporting evidence and information gaps relevant to the findings.
How the result was reached
The review status identifies how assessment rules, AI-assisted features and human review contribute to the result.
Assessment and recognition
Different outputs serve different purposes.
Diagnostic assessment
A self-reported diagnostic helps an organisation understand its starting point. It is not the same as a certificate, verified rating or independent assurance outcome.
Evidence-reviewed assessment
A reviewed assessment can provide a stronger basis for interpretation within its defined scope, but it is still not a guarantee that every legal, buyer or operational requirement has been fully satisfied.
Recognition or certification pathways
Recognition and certification follow a separate scheme with its own eligibility, evidence and decision requirements. Availability and scope are confirmed before engagement; completing or paying for an assessment does not guarantee an award.
External acceptance
Regulators, buyers and financiers set requirements for the decisions they make. Tell us how you plan to use your result so the scope and review arrangements can be considered against those requirements before engagement.
Questions, clarifications and corrections
A clear route is available when something needs review.
Have a question about a finding? Contact our team with your assessment reference, the finding and a brief explanation. We will identify the relevant clarification, correction or reassessment process.
For confidential evidence, use the secure route agreed with your assessment team rather than the public enquiry form. Any amendment to an issued result follows the applicable review process.
Contact the teamMethod and interpretation
Clear criteria. Traceable findings. Practical next steps.
Defined criteria, recorded scope and versioned methods make the basis of each assessment clear. Your organisation can examine the findings in context and use them to identify the next practical step.
Meaningful comparisons depend on comparable scope, reporting periods, editions and evidence. Keep this context with your results so colleagues, buyers and other readers can understand the basis of the comparison.
