Are you certified to ISO/IEC 42001, or do you have a documented roadmap to certification?
Evidence a buyer expects
The certificate, or the Statement of Applicability plus a dated plan. "We're working towards it" without an SoA and a date is not a roadmap — it is an intention, and reviewers read it as one.
Why weak answers fail
Claiming certification you do not hold is the fastest way to lose a deal and a reputation; certificates are verifiable. Equally, a bare "no" concedes ground you did not need to concede. The credible position is an operating management system with a dated audit.
