Practitioners use this tool to evaluate current practices, identify gaps, and build targeted improvement plans. Each requirement is phrased as a verifiable statement tied to real-world scenarios. Example questions include: 'Is there a documented process for resolving booking conflicts?', 'Are maintenance logs updated after each shared asset use?', and 'Do users receive confirmation and reminders for scheduled access?'. The workbook supports structured evaluation without requiring external consultants or customization.
