# What is a compliance matrix?

> A compliance matrix maps tender requirements to product status (meet/partial/gap). Orbid drafts it; humans own status and sign-off.

# What is a compliance matrix?

A **compliance matrix** is a structured table that maps tender requirements to how your product responds—typically meet, partial, or gap—with notes or evidence. Orbid AI can **draft** a matrix after match; humans own status labels, deviation language, and whether the pack is submission-ready.

## Details

* **Meet** — Spec truly covers requirement
* **Partial** — Documented deviation / alternate
* **Gap** — Strategy: no-bid, change product, or letter
