Work out compliance gap score instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
A gap assessment counts requirements at three implementation states, and giving partial implementations half credit avoids both the optimism of counting them as done and the pessimism of counting them as absent. Multiplying the remaining work by an average effort per gap converts the percentage into a schedule, which is what determines whether an audit date is realistic.
Compliance and effort
compliance = (full + 0.5 x partial) / total; effort = (not implemented + 0.5 x partial) x days per gap

No. Auditors test evidence of operation over a period, so a written policy with no records of execution will be assessed as partial at best.
