Level 1
Company Verification
Legal entity, registration, contacts and basic risk.
Creates: Baseline trust
FACTORY SCORE
A factory's evidence,
made understandable.
The Factory Score is a transparent decision-support record for suppliers in Vietnam and Korea. It is built from reviewed evidence, not self-reported claims or a black-box AI result.
WHY THE SCORE IS TRUSTED
Reviewed evidence, documented method.
Each completed review item becomes a traceable signal. The score is calculated from the evidence reviewed within a defined scope; the report records the review date, source material and remaining open questions.
Level 2
5M1E Remote Review
Man, Machine, Material, Method, Measurement and Environment.
Creates: Capability score
Level 3
Factory Audit
Quality system and operating evidence, reviewed remotely or on site.
Creates: Quality-system score
WHAT CAN INFORM A SCORE
- ✓ Company registration, contacts and certificate evidence
- ✓ Equipment, process and capacity evidence within scope
- ✓ Quality-system documents, findings and corrective actions
- ✓ Dated remote or on-site observations where agreed
WHAT DOES NOT CREATE A SCORE
- • Unreviewed brochure claims or marketing materials
- • Self-reported information without supporting evidence
- • An AI recommendation by itself
- • A guarantee of future quality, delivery or commercial performance

FOR BUYERS
Compare evidence, not brochures.

Request supplier verification →FOR SUPPLIERS
Turn evidence into a record buyers can understand.
Your certifications and reviewed operating evidence can become a dated, comparable record. Publication requires your consent.
Request supplier verification →A PLATFORM RECORD, NOT A ONE-TIME REPORT
Every review adds context to the factory's record.
Scores can change as new evidence, reviews and corrective actions are recorded. Each report remains tied to its review date and agreed scope.
Current supplier verification focus is Vietnam and Korea for buyers in the United States and Europe. Public scorecards require supplier consent and expand only as verification evidence grows.
