37 assessable components: 3 elements (18 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 16 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.
