Public reports
Read the evidence before you read the verdict.
A supplier report should not compress incomplete records into a reassuring score. It should show what was observed, who supplied it, what remains unknown, and which next action protects the buyer’s decision.
Evidence policy
Seven provenance labels, explicit expiry rules, corrections, independence, privacy, and professional boundaries.

This public example uses a deliberately fictional lighting supplier, invented identifiers, and invented evidence. It demonstrates report structure only. It does not describe, accuse, rank, or endorse any real company.
Report anatomy
The structure follows the buyer’s next decision, not a generic company-profile template.
- 01
Decision context
Product, destination market, order stage, value at risk, and the buyer's immediate decision.
- 02
Entity resolution
Legal name, identifiers, addresses, related names, contracting party, and beneficiary consistency.
- 03
Evidence register
Every material claim mapped to provenance, source date, scope, status, and limitation.
- 04
Unknown register
Missing, stale, conflicting, or inaccessible facts that must remain visible.
- 05
Decision gates
The action required before deposit, sample approval, production, shipment, or market entry.
What to send for a scoped review
A useful review starts with the decision and exact counterparty—not a broad request to declare whether a supplier is “safe.”
- • Supplier’s Chinese legal name or business-license image.
- • Alibaba, 1688, website, quotation, or proforma-invoice link or file.
- • Bank beneficiary and contracting entity shown on payment instructions.
- • Exact product, model, destination market, order stage, and decision deadline.
- • The claim you most need to verify: identity, factory control, document scope, payment match, or another defined issue.
What this library will not become
These reports are not a paid supplier leaderboard, a marketplace badge system, or a directory where missing data becomes a low-risk score. Public examples will either use fictional entities or publish only information that has passed a documented public-release review. A report is decision support, not legal advice, certification, or a guarantee.
