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 SISOPLN002?
Auditori pulls the current release of SISOPLN002 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.

Can I check my existing SISOPLN002 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 SISOPLN002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
