AI pre-audit for The Copper Mark
Upload your operation's policies, plans and reports — in any language. TCM AI Assessor evaluates all 33 RRA criteria and produces a formal pre-audit with verdicts, verbatim evidence, identified gaps and concrete recommendations.
From documents to a formal pre-audit
A three-step pipeline modelled on The Copper Mark's official assurance methodology.
Upload to the document library
Drop in any number of documents — PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX (up to 50 MB each). Each upload is auto-summarized, tagged with key topics, and classified against the 33 RRA criteria so the system knows which criteria each document supports.
Run an assessment
Name the site/operation, pick which documents to include (default: all), and click Begin Assessment. The system evaluates all 33 criteria in batches of 6 concurrent runs, streaming findings to the dashboard as each criterion resolves.
Read the formal report
An editorial-style printable report with cover page, outcome banner, executive summary, criterion-by-criterion findings, evidence quotes, gaps and recommendations. Export as PDF using your browser's Print to PDF.
Three pillars. Thirty-three criteria.
The Risk Readiness Assessment of The Copper Mark covers the full ESG spectrum of an upstream copper mining operation.
Business integrity, transparency & risk
Anti-bribery, business ethics, due diligence on conflict-affected areas, governance of risk, transparent disclosure and grievance mechanisms.
Human rights, communities & people
Human rights, security forces, labour practices, occupational health and safety, stakeholder engagement, community development, indigenous peoples, resettlement.
Environment, climate & resources
Tailings, water stewardship, biodiversity, GHG emissions and energy, waste, hazardous materials, mine closure and environmental compliance.
Verdicts use The Copper Mark's exact definitions
Each criterion gets one of three verdicts, plus a 2–3 sentence rationale, verbatim evidence quotes attributed to the source document, specific gaps from the criterion's requirements, and concrete recommendations mapped one-to-one to gaps.
Designed, implemented, monitored, reviewed
The site has a management system aligned with all core requirements, demonstrates effective consistent implementation, monitors and tracks it, and reviews effectiveness with updates as appropriate.
System exists, gaps remain
Anything that does not fall into "Does Not Meet" or "Fully Meets". The system is designed but gaps exist in alignment, implementation, monitoring or review.
No aligned system, or unable to demonstrate
No management system aligned with the core requirements, OR a designed system that does not align, OR inability to demonstrate consistent implementation.
Insufficient Evidence — soft flag
When no documents in the submitted set address a criterion meaningfully, the system flags Insufficient Evidence with a list of expected-but-absent requirements. This is surfaced to the user and does not count toward a formal verdict.
The site-level determination
The system reports the overall outcome on the dashboard and report cover, following The Copper Mark's outcome rules.
All criteria Fully Meets
The site receives the mark without an improvement plan.
One or more Partially Meets, none Does Not Meet
The site receives the mark but must submit an improvement plan.
One or more Does Not Meet
The site does not receive the mark and must submit an improvement plan.
Every criterion produces four structured outputs
No paraphrased fluff. Direct quotes from your documents, attributed to the source, with verifiable gaps and actionable recommendations.
One of three levels + rationale
Fully Meets, Partially Meets or Does Not Meet — plus a 2-3 sentence rationale explaining why this level was selected for this specific criterion.
Verbatim quotes, attributed
Direct verbatim quotes from your submitted documents that support the verdict. Each is attributed to the source document name. No paraphrase.
Specific missing requirements
Actionable items from the criterion's official requirements that are missing, underdeveloped or inconsistent with the submitted documentation. Cited to specific requirements, not generic observations.
Concrete actions, mapped to gaps
One-to-one mapping with the identified gaps wherever possible. Concrete, scoped, owner-friendly actions you can take to the next assurance cycle.
