Sufficient appropriate evidence
AUD Chapter 19 · Area III · Blueprint III.B
The whole audit comes down to one question: do I have enough good evidence? The Blueprint tests it at three skill levels. Application: where does evidence come from. Analysis: weigh it with skepticism. Evaluation: decide whether it is enough. Evaluation is the highest skill tested on the exam, and only AUD tests it.
