This walkthrough takes you through Regnora's main loop end to end: create a project, enable a framework, add some evidence, and run your first gap analysis. By the end you'll have seen the cycle the rest of the docs build on. It assumes you've already [signed in and set up your organisation](/get-started/signing-up/).

## 1. Create a project

A [project](/guides/setting-up-projects/) is the container for one compliance effort — your own ISO 27001 work, or a specific client engagement. Create one from the **Projects** list, choose **Internal** (your own organisation) or **External** (a client or auditor), and give it a name. Everything you do next happens inside this project.

## 2. Enable a framework

A [framework](/guides/working-with-frameworks/) is the standard you're assessing against. On the project's **Frameworks** page, select **Add framework**, pick the one you need — ISO 27001, ISO 9001, GDPR, and others are in the catalogue — and select **Enable**. This is *what* your gap analysis will check.

## 3. Add your evidence

Gap analysis assesses your [documents](/guides/managing-documents/) against the framework, so it needs evidence to work from. From the **Documentation** area, upload your policies, procedures, and records, or import them from Google Drive. Regnora indexes each document so the AI can search it by meaning. This is *what* you're assessed on.

## 4. Run a gap analysis

Now bring the two together. Start a new [gap analysis](/guides/running-a-gap-analysis/), and in the wizard choose the framework and the documents to assess. Regnora drafts a plan; when it looks right, select **Approve Plan**. The AI then works through each requirement, checking your evidence and giving each a verdict — **Pass**, **Gap**, or **N/A**.

## 5. Review and act

Go through the results in the **Review** stage: **Attest** the verdicts that are right, and **Flag** or **Re-assess** the ones that aren't. When you're done, the **Act** stage turns your findings into work — **Start a revision** to have an agent draft a management report or a plan to close a gap, or **Export Excel** to share the results.

## Where to go next

That's the core loop. From here:

- Fill in your [project profile](/guides/project-profile-and-context/) so assessments are sharper.
- [Build a custom agent](/guides/building-custom-agents/) and [automate it](/guides/triggers-and-schedules/) to handle recurring work.
- Read [Core concepts](/get-started/core-concepts/) for the mental model behind it all.
