Market and product map
List buyers, markets and expected evidence. Separate organic claims, safety and farm-practice requirements to support a clear commercial goal.
Resources and seasonality
Assess records, sites, responsibilities and harvest timing. Implementation must fit the real organisation.
Sequence the work
Organise shared processes before scheme-specific requirements. Decisions remain with the relevant bodies; one result does not guarantee another.
What the project produces
The agreed scope includes a requirements map, prioritised actions, responsibilities, operating records and a readiness review. Deliverables are agreed before implementation. Existing documents are reviewed for usefulness rather than replaced automatically.
Evidence before the review
Prepare process descriptions, supplier records, traceability information and any open findings. Do not send sensitive files through the public contact form. The first enquiry should describe the operation; detailed document exchange is agreed separately.
