How AQX maps industry fit
Industry matters because scope wording has to match the real operation.
A certificate or assurance record is only useful when it names the correct legal entity, sites, activities, services, and limitations. AQX reviews the business context before recommending a route.
What to send for review
- Industry and main business activity.
- Buyer, tender, platform, or regulator wording.
- Sites, countries, and operating model.
- Target standards, compliance evidence, or deadline.

Not sure where you fit?
Send the buyer requirement and business description.
Many companies sit across more than one sector: software plus education, healthcare plus AI, logistics plus food, or manufacturing plus ecommerce. AQX can map the primary route and supporting evidence.
Route check
Use the exact wording.
The fastest way to avoid the wrong certificate is to send the exact customer, tender, platform, or procurement wording before payment.
Commercial fit check
Use this page to decide whether the request is worth pursuing.
Every support page should move the visitor from vague interest to a clear buying decision: what the buyer wants, what the organization can prove, and whether the route is worth budget.
Buyer intent
Translate the ask into a usable brief.
Clauses, portal text, tender wording, country context, and deadline details turn an unclear request into something AQX can actually review.
Scope control
Keep the claim tied to real operations.
The route only makes sense when the activities, sites, services, and legal entity match what the buyer is asking for.
Evidence quality
Show proof, not just intention.
Useful files include records, policies, procedures, monitoring, training, and prior assessments that support the claim being made.
Commercial decision
Stop before payment if the fit is unclear.
If the requirement still looks ambiguous or misaligned, AQX should review it before the applicant spends on the wrong path.
