+Use AI-assisted tools to map relevant evidence to validation guidelines and generate compliance assessments based on linked evidence. These features streamline the validation workflow by reducing manual effort while maintaining quality.
+
+::: {.attn}
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [x] {{< var link.login >}}
+- [x] The model you are validating is registered in the model inventory.[^1]
+- [x] A model developer has submitted their model documentation for validation.[^2]
+- [x] You are a [{{< fa circle-check >}} Validator]{.bubble} or assigned another role with sufficient permissions.[^3]
+
+:::
+
+## How do evidence mapping and assessment work?
+
+Validation reports require you to link supporting evidence to each guideline and write compliance assessments, a process that can be time-consuming when done manually across dozens of guidelines.
+
+Map evidence
+: Scans all available evidence from developers and validators, then suggests which items are relevant to each guideline. Instead of searching through evidence blocks yourself, you review AI-suggested matches and approve the ones that apply. Each suggestion includes a relevance score and explanation so you can make informed decisions.
+
+Assess evidence
+: Analyzes the linked evidence for a guideline and drafts a structured compliance assessment. The generated assessment includes a compliance conclusion, specific observations about gaps or issues, and a technical review of what the evidence demonstrates. You review and approve the draft, and then make edits if needed — saving time while maintaining control over the final content.
+
+Both features are designed to accelerate validation without replacing your judgment. You always review and approve suggestions before they become part of the report.
+
+## Map evidence to guidelines

+::::
+
+Map Evidence uses AI to suggest relevant evidence for each validation guideline, helping you find and link supporting documentation from both developers and validators.
+
+1. In the left sidebar, click **{{< fa cubes >}} Inventory**.
+
+2. Select the model you are validating.[^4]
+
+3. In the left sidebar, click **Validation** to open the validation report.
+
+4. Navigate to a section and expand the **Evidence** panel.
+
+5. Click **{{< fa wand-magic-sparkles >}} Map Evidence**.
+
+6. Configure the mapping options:
+   - Toggle **Developer Evidence** to include evidence logged via the {{< var validmind.developer >}}.
+   - Toggle **Validator Evidence** to include evidence uploaded or created by validators.
+   - Adjust the **Relevance Threshold** slider — lower values return more results while higher values show only the most relevant matches.
+
+7. Click **Map Evidence** to run the AI mapping.
+
+   The panel displays how many evidence items are available to review for each guideline in the section.
+
+### Review and approve mapped evidence
+
+After running Map Evidence, you can review and approve suggestions at three levels:
+
+**For the entire report:**
+
+1. Open the validation report and look at the right sidebar.
+
+2. The **Map Evidence** panel shows how many items need review across the entire report.
+
+3. Use **Approve All** to link all suggested evidence across all guidelines, or **Reject All** to dismiss all suggestions.
+
+4. To re-run mapping with different settings, click **Remap Evidence**. This lets you adjust the relevance threshold or change which evidence types to include, then generate new suggestions.
+
+**For an entire section:**
+
+1. Navigate to a specific section in the validation report.
+
+2. In the section header, click **{{< fa wand-magic-sparkles >}} Map Evidence** to open the mapping panel.
+
+3. Use **Approve All** to link all suggested evidence for guidelines in that section, or **Reject All** to dismiss all section suggestions.
+
+4. To re-run mapping with different settings, click **Remap Evidence**.
+
+**For individual guidelines:**
+
+1. Navigate to a specific section in the validation report.
+
+2. Expand the **Evidence** panel for a guideline.
+
+3. Click **{{< fa wand-magic-sparkles >}} Map Evidence** to open the mapping panel for that guideline.
+
+4. Review individual evidence suggestions:
+
+   - Each item shows the evidence block name and a relevance score.
+   - Click **See Relevance Analysis** to view why the evidence was suggested.
+   - Click **Approve** to link an individual item to the guideline.
+   - Click **Reject** to dismiss an individual suggestion.
+
+5. Or use **Approve All** / **Reject All** to handle all suggestions for that guideline at once.
+
+Approved evidence appears in the Evidence panel for that guideline, organized by evidence type (Developer Evidence or Validator Evidence).
+
+## Assess evidence for compliance
+
+:::: {.column-margin}
+![Assess Evidence panel](assess-evidence-panel.png){fig-alt="Assess Evidence panel showing option to identify potential risks and compliance gaps based on linked evidence." .screenshot}
+::::
+
+Assess Evidence analyzes the linked evidence and generates a structured compliance assessment, identifying potential risks and compliance gaps.
+
+1. Navigate to a section that has linked evidence.
+
+2. Expand the **Evidence** panel.
+
+3. Click **{{< fa wand-magic-sparkles >}} Assess Evidence**.
+
+4. The AI analyzes the linked evidence and generates an **Evidence Assessment** containing:
+
+   - **Guideline Assessment** — A compliance conclusion indicating whether the guideline requirements are fully met, partially met, or not met, with an explanation of the evidence quality.
+   
+   - **Validation Observations** — Specific findings about gaps or issues in the evidence, with each observation covering a single concern and suggesting actions for developers.
+   
+   - **Evidence Review** — A detailed analysis of what the evidence demonstrates, including references to specific test outputs, documentation, and any limitations.
+
+   The panel displays how many assessments are available to review.
+
+### Review and approve evidence assessments
+
+After running Assess Evidence, you can review and approve assessments at three levels:
+
+**For the entire report:**
+
+1. Open the validation report and look at the right sidebar.
+
+2. The **Assess Evidence** panel shows how many assessments need review across the entire report.
+
+3. Use **Approve All** to accept all generated assessments, or **Reject All** to dismiss all assessments.
+
+**For an entire section:**
+
+1. Navigate to a specific section in the validation report.
+
+2. In the section header, click **{{< fa wand-magic-sparkles >}} Assess Evidence** to open the assessment panel.
+
+3. Use **Approve All** to accept all generated assessments for that section, or **Reject All** to dismiss them.
+
+4. To regenerate assessments with updated evidence, click **Re-assess Evidence**.
+
+**For individual guidelines:**
+
+1. Navigate to a specific section in the validation report.
+
+2. Expand the **Evidence Assessment** panel for a guideline. Assessments pending review show a [Review]{.bubble} status.
+
+3. Review the generated assessment content.
+
+4. Click **Approve** to accept the assessment, or **Reject** to dismiss it.
+
+5. After approving, you can edit the assessment content as needed — changes are auto-saved.
+
+6. To regenerate an assessment, click **{{< fa wand-magic-sparkles >}} Reassess Evidence** to run the AI analysis again with any updated evidence.
