A new service cannot show you a track record. What it can do is show you how it thinks. Each entry takes a real supplier listing, works through it in public, and says plainly what the evidence supported and what it did not.
You cannot verify the claim "120 audits completed" on any sourcing site you visit, including the ones that make it. You can verify how someone reasons through a listing, because the reasoning is either sound or it is not, and you can check every step yourself.
So this page publishes the working rather than the score. Where a check was inconclusive, it says so. Where a red flag turned out to be nothing, that gets published too — a breakdown that only ever finds problems is not a breakdown.
| Published | The method: what was looked up, where, and what it returned. The reasoning. The conclusion, and its confidence level. |
|---|---|
| Withheld | Company name, registration number, product photographs, and anything that would let a reader work out which supplier it was. Clients approve the wording before publication. |
| Frequency | Not on a schedule. One is published when a case is finished and permission is in hand, which is more honest than a content calendar. |
Method — no client, public listing
Every check here can be done from outside China with a browser and a phone call. None of it requires paying anyone. It closes the cheaper half of the question — whether the seller is who they claim to be. The other half, whether they can actually make your specification, cannot be read off a page.
Method — no client, public listing
Cheap and flexible at the same time is arithmetic that needs an explanation. One question about tooling settles it, and then three more questions settle the rest.

Capacity is the one profile claim that is pure arithmetic. Work it back from machines and cycle time, then ask the only question that matters: when does the line actually start on my order.
Method — no client, public listing
Material grade, tooling condition and the production line. All three are usually right at sample stage and drift at volume, and none of them show in a photograph.
Method — no client, public listing
The standard structure sends 70% of your money out before anyone has looked at the goods. What that costs, and the four patterns behind a deposit that does not come back.
Method — no client, public listing
AQL is a sampling scheme, not a defect allowance. 125 pieces with no defects only rules out a defect rate above 2.4% — and the sample size decides how little the zero means.
Method — no client, public listing
Exists, covers your product, still valid. Most documents that cause trouble are genuine — issued to a real company, for a different product.

Five steps, four of them before any money moves for goods. What to skip on order one, what never to skip, and which slice of the budget buys the information.
Next entries will be client cases, published with permission. If you want the check on your own supplier to become one of them, that is the trade offered on the pricing page.
