# RFP Checklist — KLA vs Holistic AI (Readiness Programs vs Runtime Evidence)

Not legal advice.

## The key question
Readiness tooling structures compliance work. Audits often still ask for **runtime evidence**: approvals, enforcement, sampling, and verifiable exports.

## Audit deliverables (minimum viable)
- Human oversight SOP + records (approvals, escalation, overrides)
- Post-market monitoring plan + risk-tiered sampling policy
- Audit log retention policy + integrity verification mechanics
- Evidence pack export bundle (manifest + checksums)
- Annex IV-style documentation export mapping (fields → evidence)

## Where readiness platforms typically fit
- Strengths: organizing readiness workflows, classification, reporting, and stakeholder coordination.
- Common gap to close for audits: runtime governance controls and proof-grade evidence exports tied to actual executions.
