What we check on every supplier

5 areas. The same 5, in the same order, on every supplier — whoever they are and whatever we find in the first one.

Each area below states what it examines, what lands in your report, and what it cannot conclude. The limits are not disclaimers. They are the reason the rest is worth reading.

01

Supplier Legitimacy

Does this business actually exist?

Before anything else: is there a real commercial operation behind the name on that invoice.

The assessment works outward from public records to confirmation from someone other than the supplier. A single source is never treated as settled. One registry entry proves a filing exists. It does not prove a business trades.

What the assessment examines

State business records · how old the website is · signs of a real premises · listings from elsewhere

What lands in your report

A straight answer on whether this is a real business, and every source we used.

The limit: we cannot prove a business is fraudulent. Absence of a record is a gap in evidence, never an accusation.

02

Supply-Chain Relationship

Is the brand relationship real?

The supplier says they carry the brand. The platform looks for anyone other than the supplier saying so.

A vendor's own word is the weakest kind of proof there is, and the report records it as exactly that. A Letter of Authorization a distributor wrote about itself is the same claim in a more official-looking format, and it is treated accordingly.

What the assessment examines

What they claim · whether the brand backs it up · trade directories · what this brand normally issues

What lands in your report

What we could confirm, what is only their word, and exactly what to ask them.

The limit: we cannot confirm authorization. Those agreements are private contracts between a brand and a distributor, and anyone claiming otherwise is guessing.

03

Brand Risk

How does this brand treat resellers?

Brands leave a trail of how they treat third-party sellers. The assessment reads it — what a brand has done before, what it has gated, and how many sellers have come and gone on a listing across a full year.

A brand that has never acted and a brand that acted last month look different in the data.

What the assessment examines

How many sellers are on the listing over a year · past enforcement · gating · how the brand behaves

What lands in your report

How this brand has treated other sellers, and what that does and does not prove.

The limit: we cannot predict whether a brand will act against you. The report shows the pattern, not the future.

04

Documentation Review

Will the paperwork stand up?

A fourteen-point read of your paperwork, judged against the deal in front of you rather than ticked off a list.

A missing field is not automatically a problem. What matters is whether a supplier like this, selling this brand, at this quantity, would normally leave it out.

What the assessment examines

Fourteen document fields · whether it all matches up · whether the paperwork fits the company on file

What lands in your report

Whether the paperwork will hold up, and exactly which fields need fixing first.

The 14-point read

  1. Supplier legal nameMust match the vendor who quoted you
  2. Invoice dateWithin the last 365 days
  3. Buyer legal entity nameYour registered business, not your own name
  4. Product descriptionsNamed branded products, not “misc items”
  5. Product identifiersUPC, EAN, ASIN or model numbers
  6. Formatting consistencyMismatched fonts and spacing get flagged for a closer look — never an accusation

And 8 more on every document

  • Supplier address — not a po box or a virtual office
  • Supplier phone — present, and reachable
  • Email domain — the supplier's own, not a free mailbox
  • Tax or EIN number — present and well-formed
  • Invoice number — present and unique
  • Buyer address — matches your registered business
  • Quantities — stated per line item
  • Pricing and totals — line prices that add up to the total

Masked demonstration · structure shown, values removed

The limit: clean paperwork is not protection. Invoice acceptance and brand IP enforcement are independent risks, and the report keeps them apart rather than letting one stand in for the other.

05

Sourcing Logic

Does the whole story hold together?

The last area checks the other four against each other. Does the price make sense for this kind of supplier? Would a company this size really carry these brands? Is the route they described the one you can actually see?

Any single signal is ambiguous on its own. A supplier can look like a regional distributor and be a broker. A liquidator's invoice can be immaculate. What decides it is the pattern across all of them, read against how that kind of supplier normally behaves — and every contradiction is named rather than smoothed.

What the assessment examines

Whether the story adds up across all five areas · anything that contradicts anything else

What lands in your report

Every contradiction we found and the questions it raises for your supplier.

The limit: we cannot tell you a deal is good. The report tells you whether the deal is what it appears to be.

Two words, and the difference between them

Every finding carries one of two certainty levels.

Verified means supported by at least one source independent of the supplier; the supplier repeating themselves in a different format does not count.

Assessed means our reading of the evidence available, with that evidence set out so you can check it.

There is no third word. Nothing is presented as more certain than it is, and where we could not reach either level, the report says so under what we could not confirm — a section that appears in every report, including the good ones.

What happens next

One verdict, in 24 hours, on every plan. The same questions, asked the same way, every time.

Every area states its own limit. That is the point.

One supplier, one verdict, and a straight list of what we could not confirm.
