QA Program Foundation — Design and Pilot

Design of a quality-assurance foundation followed by a controlled pilot to test and refine the program before broader use.

IWS develops the core quality-assurance framework and supports a limited pilot to determine whether the tools, standards, calibration process, reporting, and coaching approach function as intended. Pilot findings are used to refine the program before broader implementation. The engagement focuses on the QA system and management practices, not disciplinary decisions about individual employees.
