- MiQ Gap Assessment
MiQ Gap Assessment
MiQ certification can fail on practical details, including monitoring plan design, methane intensity methods, evidence quality, and governance, unless readiness is assessed early and gaps are addressed systematically.
Highwood’s MiQ Gap Assessment service evaluates your current readiness for MiQ certification and delivers a clear, prioritized roadmap to close gaps in monitoring, methane intensity calculation, governance, and verification evidence.
Benefits
By completing this assessment, you reduce certification risk and rework by identifying the specific monitoring, calculation, and documentation improvements needed for a credible MiQ submission and third-party review.
Use cases
- You are planning to pursue MiQ certification and need a clear plan to close readiness gaps
- You have measurement activity underway but lack a defensible methane-intensity and evidence approach
- You want to avoid surprises during verifier review by strengthening traceability and documentation early
Inputs
- Current monitoring plans and measurement program overview (coverage, frequency, technologies)
- Methane intensity calculation approach and any reconciliation methods in use
- Measurement datasets and uncertainty information (as available)
- Governance, controls, and existing documentation/evidence packages for review
Outputs
- Readiness assessment summary mapped to MiQ expectations
- Identification of key gaps preventing MiQ alignment/certification
- Prioritized roadmap with technical, data, and governance actions (resource/timeline considerations)
- Recommendations to improve measurement strategy, data treatment, and ongoing alignment
- Executive-ready summary for internal alignment
Estimated timeline
2–4 weeks, depending on scope, data readiness, and documentation maturity.
