The EBP Auditor’s Guide to Evaluating Audit Automation Software
What to evaluate beyond the demo before making a decision.
What Demos Don't Show
Most platforms look strong in a controlled setting. The real difference surfaces when they're tested against actual EBP workflows, inconsistent data, and peer review expectations.
Peer Review Readiness
Outputs can appear polished on the surface, but peer review requires clarity, consistency, and traceability that not every platform can deliver.
Implementation Risk
Even well-designed platforms can struggle during rollout. Without clear change management and internal alignment, adoption slows and value takes longer to realize.
