Factory-floor evidence over sales promises
Built for Europe, North America, UK, and Australia buyers
Principles
Focused, practical, and buyer-side.
Buyer-side only
No factory commission or supplier referral fee.
Engineering context
Drawings, specifications, QA/QC, materials, fabrication, and delivery constraints.
China-grounded checks
Local documents, supplier communication, and factory-floor evidence where required.
Verification workflow
A clear path from supplier link to decision.
The public promise is simple: collect the right facts, separate evidence from sales claims, and show you what to do next before money or goods move.
Inquiry triage
Reviews the supplier link, material category, order stage, destination market, and the decision you need to make.
Desk evidence review
Checks business signals, documents, certificates, project fit, traceability, and obvious supplier-risk gaps.
Factory verification
When needed, scopes factory visits, production checks, photo evidence, supplier interviews, and inspection hold points.
Risk report
Turns findings into a concise risk rating, supplier questions, evidence gaps, and recommended next steps.
Follow-up support
Helps clarify supplier answers, define a paid verification scope, and decide whether to proceed, correct, or hold.
Specialist network
Adds local inspection, translation, travel coordination, or technical specialist support when the assignment requires it.
