Using the ADS Assessment Platform

The ADS Assessor Platform is where you complete pillar assessments, track your maturity, and generate formal outputs. While the Knowledge Hub provides guidance, background, and tools, the platform is where your actual assessment process takes place.

This page explains how the platform works, what you’ll use it for, and where to go for help if you’re not yet onboarded.

Walkthrough: How to Use the Platform

To help you get started, we’ve created a step-by-step demo of the platform.
