| 16 | 2. **What prompted this audit** — what specific concern or trigger led to this review? |
| 17 | 3. **Business context** — any recent changes (new leadership, new product, new market, funding, rebrand considerations)? |
| 18 | 4. **Internal perception** — how does the internal team describe the brand? |
| 19 | 5. **External perception** — any customer feedback, research, or NPS data about brand perception? |
| 20 | 6. **Key competitors** — who should the brand be benchmarked against? |
