Why 30 documents are enough for phase one
Early diligence should answer whether the farm is worth deeper work. A focused first room prevents both sides from drowning in noise.
The first room should prove identity, legal operating basis, quality system existence, batch traceability and known gap status. If those fail, a bigger document room will not fix the route.
The document map
The first-pass evidence package should be grouped by decision, not by internal folder habit.
- Entity and license: company profile, cannabis license scope, site address, responsible person.
- Facility: floor plan, room list, utilities, sanitation zoning, pest-control contract or logs.
- Quality system: SOP index, training matrix, deviation/CAPA process, document-control process.
- Cultivation: genetics/source, cultivation logs, input controls, irrigation/water evidence.
- Post-harvest: harvest log, drying log, trimming log, storage log, environmental records.
- Batch and lab: batch list, COAs, sampling record, retention sample status, out-of-spec history.
Buyer snapshot output
The useful deliverable is a buyer snapshot: what is proven, what is missing, what is route-critical, and what can be remediated within 30, 60 or 90 days.
This is where CannaWorld can become infrastructure: farms upload once, buyers review structured evidence, and gaps become work packages instead of scattered WhatsApp requests.
GACP/GMP feasibility check
The first 30 evidence items exist and can be linked to at least one representative batch.
Evidence: Structured document room and batch evidence map.
Documents exist but are fragmented, undated, unsigned or not batch-linked.
Evidence: Remediation plan with owners and due dates.
Buyer requests EU medical route assessment.
Evidence: Downstream actor map and GMP scope review.
