What an assessment for HLTOPD007 must cover
83 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 58 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 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.

A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.
How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for HLTOPD007?
Auditori pulls the current release of HLTOPD007 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.
Is the first assessment tool really free?
Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for HLTOPD007 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing HLTOPD007 assessment instead of generating a new one?
Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of HLTOPD007, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
