# Templates

> Practical tools that apply the tieback Knowledge estate and TBF frameworks: readiness assessments, worksheets, maps and registers you can use directly.

tieback Templates turn the vendor-neutral Knowledge estate and the reusable
[TBF framework library](/docs/knowledge-base/frameworks/overview) into tools a team can actually
use: assessments, worksheets, maps and registers that apply the guidance rather than restating
it.

Every tool is free, runs in your browser, keeps what you enter on your own device, and can be
completed with no tieback product. Knowledge explains the subject, a framework structures the
problem, a template applies it, and an example shows it applied.

## What This Section Covers

* Readiness and gap assessment tools.
* Product data inventories and field level mapping sheets.
* Supplier data request, evidence and verification registers.
* Governance artefacts: ownership matrices, review schedules and roadmaps.

## Who Should Read This

Programme leads and compliance teams who have decided what to do and now need the working
documents to do it. Templates assume the reader has already covered the relevant Regulations and
Implementation material.

## Recommended Reading Order

1. [Implementation](/docs/knowledge-base/implementation/overview): understand the process a template
   supports.
2. [Governance & Assurance](/docs/knowledge-base/compliance-frameworks/overview): understand the
   structure the artefacts fit into.
3. Templates, once the process and structure are clear.

## Published Templates

Published in the order a team normally needs them.

1. [DPP Readiness Assessment](/docs/knowledge-base/templates/dpp-readiness-assessment): a ten
   dimension assessment that scores current readiness, identifies major gaps and produces a short
   priority sequence. Scored on the Product Data Maturity Model (TBF-024).
2. [Passport Data Origin Worksheet](/docs/knowledge-base/templates/passport-data-origin-worksheet):
   maps each item of passport information to its origin, its authoritative source and the evidence
   behind it, and counts the gaps. Applies the Passport Data Origin Model (TBF-042).
3. [Supplier Evidence Register](/docs/knowledge-base/templates/supplier-evidence-register): tracks
   the supplier-held information a passport depends on, the evidence expected and received, its
   state, issuer and validity, and the action required to close each gap. Applies the DPP Evidence
   Lifecycle (TBF-034) and the Supplier DPP Readiness Model (TBF-032).

Run the assessment first to establish whether the programme is viable, then the worksheet to
establish what specifically has to be sourced, governed and evidenced, then the register to obtain
and maintain the supplier evidence those rows depend on.

Further templates are in preparation and will appear here as they are published, so this page
never links to unfinished material.
