Required Evidence for 7.1 Resources, in ISO 22000:2018

Greetings,

I'm looking for a bit of clarification regarding clause 7.1 - Resources, in ISO 22000:2018. Specifically, I'm wondering about 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and 7.1.4 and what sort of evidence would we need to "prove" conformity. Would a positive affirmation statement in a food safety manual be considered sufficient? Is simply observing the facility and the organization's programs as a whole enough to make a determination? Perhaps these two in combination? I'm inclined to think the latter here. However, would an external auditor require more in-depth evidence such as budget documents, maybe a  "resource risk assessment" or "resource analysis" or something along those lines? Previously with 2005, the clauses 6.1, 6.3 and 6.4 were sufficiently vague that this wasn't really an issue. I'm just concerned that there seems to be several clauses in 2018 which seem to be requiring more evidence than they did in 2005, in my interpretation, and I'd prefer not to be blind sided by something like this.

Am I over thinking the issue?

Thanks for any input you can provide.
