Manufacturer-provided
Supplier document, statement, quotation, image or video. Source and date recorded; no independent conclusion implied.
Evidence methodology
Verification is a dated evidence record—not a permanent badge.
The methodology separates information received from a supplier, desk checks, third-party work and real buyer validation.
Desk-checked
Public records, document consistency, remote demonstration or cross-source review completed within stated limits.
Third-party verified
An identified competent party completed a defined inspection, test or audit on a stated date.
Buyer-validated
A real project produced relevant evidence and permission exists to disclose it.

- Unknowns and limitations

Correction process
Suppliers should be able to correct factual errors.
A supplier may submit source evidence to correct an identity, specification or document record. Corrections are logged, dated and reviewed; commercial pressure does not change an evidence label.
Negative findings are shared only within an appropriate project context unless publication is lawful, evidenced and responsibly reviewed.
