How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for DEFTST010?

Auditori pulls the current release of DEFTST010 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Can I check my existing DEFTST010 assessment instead of generating a new one?
