Offline by design
An assessment handles the customer's design documents, test results and process records. For a tier-one supplier, sending that to an outside server is rarely something you can negotiate.
SPIDer Assessment runs entirely on the assessor's PC. Nothing goes out during installation, during the assessment, or when the report is produced. The database and the knowledge base ship inside the package.
With no AI configured, the tool stops rather than inventing a plausible sentence. An assessment report is a document you have to defend later. Nothing the tool quietly made up belongs in it.
Who it is for
You lead assessments alone, and a good share of the time goes on moving between several spreadsheets and a Word document to keep evidence and ratings in step.
This tool removes that round trip. You rate where you record the evidence, and the ratings go straight into the report. Co-assessors can be invited without a seat limit.
Several lead assessors, several assessments running at once. Assign processes per assessor and anything outside their scope is read-only. Only a lead assessor can finalise and produce the report.
When an assessment closes, the team and their qualifications are kept as they were on the day. People change later; the record does not.
No intacs qualification needed. There is an informal assessment mode for organisations that want to see where their own processes stand before a customer assessment.
An informal assessment is not submitted to intacs, so no assessment log is produced and the report cover states that it is not a certified assessment. The tool does not blur that line.
Where the work happens
Record evidence per base practice and set the rating on the same row. No moving between a spreadsheet and a document to reconcile them later.
The right-hand panel carries the questions to ask for that practice, example findings, the guideline text and the rules that apply. You do not go looking through another document mid-interview.
Evidence links to participants and documents, and their names and versions are kept as they were when it was recorded. Master data can change afterwards; the assessment record does not.
Rating Rules
The ASPICE 4.0 Rating Rules are checked automatically. When a rating you gave conflicts with a rule, you are told on the spot.
There is no switch to turn a rule off. The tool cannot change what the standard sets. If you judge that a rule does not apply, either adjust the rating or leave it and write the reasoning. That reasoning goes into the report as written.
Rule Check appears on ASPICE 4.0 assessments only. Applying the rules is not mandatory under 3.1, and the tool draws that line by model version.
What it produces
Assessors do not judge a tool by its feature list. They ask whether they can hand its report to a customer under their own name.
So the samples are open. No request needed. They were produced from invented data for a company that does not exist.
Korean, English and Chinese. The screens and the manual match.
On the record
Founded in 2007, SPID provides process improvement and engineering consulting — including Automotive SPICE and CMMI assessment and consulting — along with the supply of related solutions and training through SPID Academy.
SPIDer Assessment came out of that work. An intacs certified Principal Assessor who runs assessments designed it. The screens follow the order an assessment actually takes, so the tool does the moving between spreadsheets and documents that used to be done by hand.
Product enquiries and technical support are handled by SPID directly.

Pricing
Annual subscription only. 20% off when three years are paid up front.
The ASPICE PAM is revised and the Rating Rules follow. An assessment built on superseded rules becomes a finding in its own right. Updates arrive for as long as the subscription runs.

Questions
It does. Installation, the assessment and report generation involve no outside traffic. The one exception is the AI drafting aid. You do not need it to run an assessment, and if it is not configured the tool says so on screen.
Because a licence is bound to the PC it was installed on. We need that PC's installation code to make a key that works only there. A trial follows the same route.
The installation code carries no personal data and nothing from your assessments.
Install Docker Desktop and run install.bat. That is the whole
of it. The installation guide covers it screen by screen. If you get stuck, just reply.
The tool does not rate. It reports a Rating Rule violation; the judgement is yours. If you decide a rule does not apply, write the justification and it stays in the report.
There is a surrender procedure. Surrender on the old PC, send us the proof, and we re-issue a key for the new one. It is what stops one licence running on two machines.
Yes. There is no seat limit on co-assessors. Assign processes and anything outside that scope is read-only. Only a lead assessor can finalise and produce the report.
It does. VDA Potential Analysis has its own screens. A PoA is not a formal assessment, so it carries no Class and no intacs log, and the tool keeps that distinction.
