Platform

Seven stages from approved evidence to reviewable working output.

Qualense keeps source excerpts, mapping suggestions, human decisions, assessment state, and supported deliverables connected in one workflow.

01
Stage 01 · intake gate

Evidence ingestion

Authorized users upload approved non-CUI, native-text evidence. Qualense checks supported file constraints, integrity, malware results, secret patterns, and apparent CUI markings. Images and scanned/image-only PDFs are currently quarantined before external AI processing. These checks supplement — but do not replace — customer classification and authorization.

Flagged artifacts can be stopped, excluded, or deleted in supported processing paths. Do not upload credentials, secrets, CUI, or other prohibited data.

02
Stage 02 · claim → citation

Cited AI mapping suggestions

The AI-assisted pipeline proposes mappings between evidence excerpts and assessment objectives. Reviewers must inspect the source, exact excerpt, applicability, and provenance before accepting a suggestion.

Qualense is designed to preserve source citations for review; qualified users remain responsible for validating every score-affecting record.

03
Stage 03 · verification pass

Independent verifier

A separate verification operation evaluates whether a selected passage supports a proposed mapping. Its result is decision support and does not replace human review.

Stage 04 · deterministic checks

Rules engine R1–R9

Nine deterministic rule families run alongside the review workflow for conditions such as undated or stale evidence, screenshot-only support, draft material, log retention, policy without practice, method mismatch, and scope. Their results are prompts for qualified review.

05
Stage 05 · verdict states

Verdict layer

Assessment records expose readiness and evidence-effect states, including gaps and items needing review. Qualense distinguishes insufficient or contextual material from evidence that supports implementation.

Reviewers should validate the source link, citation, decision, and assessment derivation before relying on an output.

06
Stage 06 · score attribution

SPRS scoring

Approved assessment state can be recalculated into a supporting result on the −203 to +110 scale with requirement-level attribution. The customer validates the catalog, method, inputs, and total before any submission.

Stage 07 · export set

White-label deliverables

Generate a gap report DOCX, POA&M XLSX, supporting SPRS summary XLSX, evidence index XLSX, or a ZIP containing those four. Supported branding includes firm name, logo, primary color, and footer.
