Answer in brief

Application evidence should demonstrate the business model and the applicant’s ability to operate it. A policy title without an implementation record can leave a claim unsupported.[\[1\]](https://abudhabidigitalassetlaw.com/application-evidence/#ref-adgm)

## Understanding the question

Map each significant statement to a document, person or system. Test consistency across the business plan, organization chart, contracts, procedures and financial model. Keep a clear owner for each item and record changes during the review process.[\[1\]](https://abudhabidigitalassetlaw.com/application-evidence/#ref-adgm)

## Build the working record

| Consideration | What to establish |
| --- | --- |
| Claim | What does the application say the business will do? |
| Evidence | Which record demonstrates that capability? |
| Owner | Who is responsible for accuracy and implementation? |

## Put it into practice

If a control depends on an external provider, include the agreement and operating interface in the evidence map.

**Useful output**: A versioned evidence room linked to application statements.
