The CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) outlines the specific criteria for a readiness review conducted by the Lead Assessor. This review occurs during Phase 1 (Plan and Prepare). The question states that the assessment risk status and overall assessment feasibility have already been determined. According to the CAP, the final minimum criterion to be verified during the readiness review is the determination of logistics, the composition and readiness of the Assessment Team, and the readiness of the evidence provided by the Organization Seeking Certification (OSC). This step ensures all practical and evidentiary prerequisites are met before the assessment begins.

A. Determining practice pass/fail results is an activity performed during Phase 3 (Conduct the Assessment), not the Phase 1 readiness review.

B. Determining preliminary recommended findings occurs after evidence has been reviewed and practices have been scored during the assessment itself (Phase 3/4).

C. Determining and recording initial model practice ratings (e.g., MET, NOT MET) is a core function of conducting the assessment (Phase 3), not preparing for it.
