A controlled workflow before any ESG answer leaves AionSi.
Use this checklist alongside the questionnaire engine to preserve source evidence, approvals, submission history and future refresh points.
| Field | Instruction | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Customer questionnaire | Store the original customer questions and instructions exactly as received. | Yes |
| Question classification | Assign each question to Environment, Social, Governance, Supply Chain or Information Security. | Yes |
| Framework mapping | Map each question to the applicable AionSi policy, statement, metrics register or control. | Yes |
| Evidence validation | Confirm source record, reporting period, scope, calculation method and disclosure permission before using evidence. | Yes |
| Response approval | Route responses that contain commitments, quantitative claims, legal interpretations or customer-specific attestations for the appropriate internal review. | Yes |
| Submission record | Retain the submitted response, evidence references, approval trail and submission date for future refreshes. | Yes |
| Refresh trigger | Revalidate responses when policies change, evidence periods roll over, customer requirements change or a material operational event occurs. | Recommended |
Control principle: policy language, evidence availability and formal approval are separate checks. A response should not be represented as a certification, audit opinion or completed metric unless the supporting basis exists.
