PRE-VALIDATION EVIDENCE READINESS

Find the evidence gaps before your validator does.

Article6 reviews project documentation against applicable methodology requirements to identify missing, unclear, and unsupported evidence before validation begins.

Independent pre-validation review. No commitment required for initial scope review.

NOT APPLIC.

Pre-validation readiness assessment. Not validation approval, verification, or certification.

Sample for illustration.

WHY THIS MATTERS

A complete PDD does not always mean a validation-ready project.

Carbon projects often contain extensive documentation, but evidence can still be incomplete, unclear, or difficult for reviewers to trace.

Evidence is distributed across PDDs, annexes, calculations, maps, and supporting files.
Requirements may be addressed without sufficient supporting evidence.
Evidence may exist but be difficult to verify or trace.
Documentation gaps are often discovered after validation has already started.

SEE THE REVIEW

Every requirement is traced to evidence, risk, and a next action.

The assessment turns a document review into a practical preparation record your team can work through.

SAMPLE FINDINGS

Identify validation risks before validation begins.

Project boundary definition

Medium
Evidence reviewed
PDD Section 1.4; project boundary map
Finding
Boundary description is present, but the map does not identify all included facilities.
Recommended action
Reconcile the map and narrative before submission.

Monitoring parameter sources

High
Evidence reviewed
Monitoring plan; equipment specification sheet
Finding
The monitoring plan names the parameter but does not show the source of the measurement factor.
Recommended action
Add the source and explain how the factor will be verified.

Stakeholder consultation record

Low
Evidence reviewed
Consultation minutes; attendance register
Finding
Meeting records are included, though responses to material concerns are not traceable.
Recommended action
Link each material concern to a response or resolution note.

Illustrative findings for demonstration only. Not from a real client project.

THE COST OF WAITING

Finding gaps during validation costs more.

Clarification cycles

More questions. More evidence hunting.

Rework

Documentation changes under external review pressure.

Delays

Unresolved evidence issues can slow validation.

Article6 moves that review earlier, while your team still has time to respond.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

A clear preparation plan before validation.

  • Requirement-by-requirement evidence review
  • Missing and insufficient evidence identified
  • Validation preparation actions
  • Clear resolution guidance for each finding

GET STARTED

Send us your PDD.

Upload your project documentation and we will review the scope, confirm methodology fit, and explain the next steps.

Accepted file type: PDF. Maximum size: 50MB.

Submitting a PDD does not begin a paid engagement. We will first review the scope and confirm the next steps.

Your document will be used only to evaluate and perform the requested assessment. All uploads are transmitted securely and stored privately.

Article6 provides independent pre-validation evidence readiness assessments. The service is not validation, verification, legal advice, a registry determination, or a guarantee of acceptance by Verra or any validation and verification body.
