                         complex products and systems. The Technology Readiness Levels 
                         (TRL) scale assists in making decisions about the infusion of new 
                         technologies into complex systems. This scale presents challenges 
                         to represent the integration between technologies in a system. The 
                         Integration Readiness Levels (IRL) scale aims to address these 
                         challenges. A good practice for objective technology readiness 
                         assessments is to rely on evidence-based documentation. The TRL 
                         scale shows the evidence required for each level of the scale and 
                         the appropriate types of documents to collect this evidence, while 
                         the IRL scale proposes only the necessary evidence for each level. 
                         This research proposes a set of information items to document the 
                         required evidence for each level of the IRL scale. The results 
                         show the main stages of investigation and the successful tests of 
                         the proposal in a case study with spacecraft developed in the 
                         binational program China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (CBERS). 
                         This article contributes to the research in integration readiness 
                         assessments, aims to support professionals who carry out 
                         evidence-based evaluations and, consequently, may contribute to 
                         improving the accuracy of decisionmaking in the systems 
                         integration by using this scale.",
