The six-week rebuild, gone.

Six weeks of a senior person, every audit cycle. The result is a document nobody will defend under questioning, and its answer starts expiring the day it is written.

The record comes off the switches, so it is current by construction, and the evidence pack is a dated export that nobody has to type up the week before the auditor arrives. Uncertainty is marked.

A per-device, per-port record: what was present and how each device was identified, with a confidence figure on every row. So are the devices it could not identify. An auditor who finds those on their own asks much harder questions.
