Quick FAQ

Short answers before saving a QC note

Does a photo prove authenticity?

No. It supports only bounded visible observations.

Can two image sets be compared directly?

Only after matching the intended option and naming each evidence stage.

What if a detail is cropped?

Mark it not observable and keep the question open.

QC note fields

Four fields keep an image observation honest

If the evidence cannot support the statement, leave it unresolved.

  1. Exact option Copy visible size, color, version, or selection text.
  2. Image stage Label listing, warehouse, or historical reference.
  3. Visible detail Describe the area and condition actually shown.
  4. Open conflict Record what is cropped, unclear, or contradictory.

Inspection prompts

Choose the question before collecting photos

Shape, color, labels, dimensions, packaging, and material appearance require separate evidence prompts.

  • Shape
  • Color
  • Material view
  • Label placement
  • Dimensions
  • Packaging

No QC count or outcome is asserted; current images must be checked on the live resource.

Evidence stages

Park a comparison when context changes

Source image

What the listing shows before an order decision.

Warehouse view

A later image that may answer a different question.

Missing angle

The needed area is cropped or not visible.

Old reference

Useful history, not proof of current state.

QC evidence record

Keep option, stage, observation, and uncertainty together

Another reviewer should be able to tell which row the image covers and what the image cannot establish.

Exact selection

Save the visible option labels tied to the image.

Evidence stage

Name listing, warehouse, or historical context.

Visible observation

Describe alignment, color, stitching, label, or packaging only where shown.

Open question

State the missing view or conflict and the next evidence needed.

Stop rules

Pause when the comparison no longer shares one context

A narrow unresolved note is safer than a broad QC verdict.

  • The option text and image set describe different variants.
  • The source or timing of an image is unknown.
  • The judged area is cropped, blurred, or absent.
  • Lighting or angle prevents a like-for-like observation.
  • The claim would require authenticity, durability, or a score the image cannot establish.
