Go-live evidence audit: Compare approved actions with before-and-after evidence. Flag missing operators, unexplained deviations, unverified results and incomplete rollback records.
Domain audit: Review supplied tests for canonical resolution, HTTPS, alternate hosts, redirects and representative deep links. Do not infer untested network behaviour.
Journey verification audit: Compare live first-visit, contact, signup, resource, member and purchase journeys with approved expectations and evidence.
Search-state audit: Review indexing controls, canonical pages, sitemap, titles, descriptions and share assets without promising indexing speed or rankings.
Incident-impact audit: Identify every page, component, route, form and data flow potentially affected by an incident or correction.
Operational-handoff audit: Confirm ownership, recovery records, live locations, limitations, support routes, update authority and incident process.
AI cannot independently verify actual DNS propagation, certificate security, browser compatibility, form delivery, payment completion, search indexing, legal compliance or final operational authority without evidence and human testing.
