Running an Accreditation Audit
Accreditation is, at heart, a question-and-evidence exercise: show where this requirement is met. The Accreditation Auditor turns your ingested documents into a working surface for exactly that.
Start from organized evidence
An audit is only as good as the corpus behind it. Make sure the relevant catalogs, handbooks, and policy documents are ingested and tagged first — see Organizing Institutional Knowledge.
Ask compliance questions against your evidence
Open the Accreditation Auditor, select the documents that make up your evidence set, and ask a requirement as a plain question — “Where do we document our process for assessing student learning outcomes?” Every answer comes back with page-level citations you can open to verify.

Click to verify
Because each answer is anchored to specific pages, a reviewer can confirm it in seconds — turning “find the evidence” into “check the citation.”
Save your work as a session
Audits don’t finish in one sitting. Save an audit session to keep the thread of questions and answers, then return and continue where you left off. Sessions keep your reasoning trail intact.
Generate a brief
When you’re ready to hand something off, generate a brief from your session. The brief packages the questions, cited answers, and evidence into a shareable document — a running start on the narrative a review committee expects.

Briefs are built from your real, cited answers — not invented — so what you hand off traces straight back to source documents.
