Stop guessing whether your Chinese supplier is real.别再猜了：这家中国供应商到底是真的吗？
Flying a team to China costs $15,000 and three weeks. A $300 checklist audit tells you the fire exits are clear. Neither tells you whether this factory will still be standing in eighteen months. That is the question we answer — one day on the floor, a written answer in five.派团队来中国，成本 1.5 万美元、三周时间。一份 300 美元的清单式审核，只能告诉你消防通道有没有堵。这两个都不能回答：这家厂十八个月后还在不在。我们回答的是这个问题——一天在场，五天出书面结论。
Everyone audits. Nobody tells you the truth.所有人都在审厂，没人告诉你实话。
Standard audits verify compliance. They count fire extinguishers and tick boxes. They are not built to answer the question you actually have: can I wire money to this company?标准审核验证的是合规。数灭火器、打钩。它天生不回答你真正关心的问题：我能不能把钱打给这家公司？
One decision at the top. Everything behind it, checkable.顶上是一个决定，后面全部可查。
This is the delivered report for VD-2610-017 — an on-site audit of a die-casting shop in Taizhou. One high-severity finding, one mid, one low. Published in full, including the parts that make us look bad.这是台州一家压铸厂的现场报告 VD-2610-017，完整公开：一条高危、一条中等、一条轻微，包括对我们不利的部分。
Start at 100, subtract 25 for each high finding, 8 for mid, 3 for low. The weights ship with the code and the page shows the sum. Nobody types a verdict into a form — so two audits of the same facts cannot disagree.从 100 分起，每条高危 −25、中等 −8、轻微 −3。权重写在代码里，页面上把算式摊开。没有人往表单里填结论——同一批事实，两次审核不可能得出不同结果。
Two high-severity findings veto the order no matter what the score says. A rule that lives only inside a sum is a rule your sales contact can negotiate away.两条高危直接否决，分数再高也不行。只活在求和里的规则，是销售能跟你讨价还价的规则。
Each finding is numbered and traceable to what was photographed on site — the meter reading, the ledger page, the machine nameplate. Originals are kept for three years, EXIF intact.每条发现都有编号，能追到现场拍下的东西：电表读数、台账那一页、设备铭牌。原件存三年，EXIF 不动。
The seal is an HMAC over the order, the verdict, the man-days and every finding title. Edit one line in the database and it stops matching. The verify endpoint answers true or false — and never hands back the right answer.封印是对订单、结论、人天和每条标题算的 HMAC。库里改一行，封印立刻对不上。校验接口只回答对或不对，不会把正确答案还给你。
Delivery turns each finding into a tracked corrective action with a due date. The factory cannot tick its own fix as done, and neither can the buyer — evidence is only accepted by the technical reviewer, who never went to the site.一交付，每条发现就变成带期限的整改项。工厂不能自己勾「已整改」，买方也不能——证据只由技术复核岗确认，而这个人没去过现场。
Read one before you order.下单之前，先读一份。
Three engagements, three different verdicts, all in metalworking. Names are changed; the findings are not.三个案例，三种不同结论，全部来自五金加工行业。公司名做了处理，结论没有。
Dongguan Hengrui Precision Hardware Co., Ltd.东莞市恒锐精密五金有限公司
Workable — but capacity is 40% of what they quoted可以做，但产能只有宣称的四成
Ningbo Taihe Metal Products Co., Ltd.宁波泰合金属制品有限公司
Safe to order — watch the ownership change可以放心下单，但要盯住股权变动
Cangzhou Hongsheng Casting Co., Ltd.沧州宏盛铸业有限公司
Do not order. An 18% discount is not worth this risk不要下单。价格便宜 18%，风险不止 18%
Five days, four steps, one decision.五天，四步，一个决定。
Tell us who to check告诉我们要查谁
Company name, address, what you're buying. If all you have is a WhatsApp contact and a business card, that is enough to start.公司名、地址、你要采购什么。哪怕只有一个 WhatsApp 联系人和一张名片，也能开始。
We dispatch a local auditor我们派出本地审核员
Not a courier with a camera. An auditor who has spent years in your product category, in that industrial cluster.不是拿相机跑腿的人。是在你这个品类、这个产业带待过很多年的审核员。
A full day on the floor在车间待一整天
Counting machines, reading meters, pulling ledgers, and talking to the owner, the manager and the operators — separately.数设备、抄电表、翻台账，然后分别和老板、厂长、工人谈。
You get a verdict, not a score你拿到的是结论，不是分数
One decision, five scores, every red flag with its evidence, and the exact clauses to negotiate before you pay.一个决定、五个维度、每条红旗带证据，以及付款前必须谈下来的条款。
The hard part isn't finding auditors. It's stopping them from lying.难的不是找到审核员，是让他们不说假话。
Every claim below is enforced by something that refuses an action, not by a sentence in a policy document. Three of them, with the actual output.下面三条都不是制度文件里的一句话，而是系统里某个会拒绝执行的动作。附上真实输出。
The dispatch endpoint returns every candidate with the numbers behind the order — current load, specialty fit, and when they last stood in this town. The console has no 'assign anyway' button, and the only thing that can reject someone outright is their own load ceiling.派单接口把每个人连同排序依据一起返回：当前负载、专业是否对口、上次到这片产业带是什么时候。控制台里没有「强行指定」这个按钮——唯一会直接排除一个人的，是他自己的负载上限。
See an order's timeline →看一个订单的时间线 →'We fixed it' and 'it is fixed' are different claims. There is no transition that skips verification, and the waiver path needs a written decision from the buyer.「我们改好了」和「改好了」是两件事。没有任何一条边能跳过复核，走豁免也要买方书面确认。
See open findings →看待整改的整改项 →No commission, no referral fee, no paid 'expedited pass'. The moment revenue touches the supplier, the report becomes a sales document.不收佣金、不收介绍费、不卖「加急通过」。收入一旦碰到供应商，报告就变成了销售材料。
Four operating rules →四条操作准则 →A negative verdict needs two signatures否定结论，两个人签字
Any 'do not order' is co-signed by a second auditor who never went to the site. If the two disagree, both opinions are printed in the report.任何「不要下单」都要由一位没到过现场的审核员共同签字。两人意见不同，两种都写进报告。
Originals kept for three years原始证据留存三年
Photos are stored with their original EXIF — shutter time, GPS, device. A cropped JPEG proves nothing; the question is whether it was taken where and when we say.照片保留原始 EXIF：快门时间、GPS、设备。裁过的 JPG 什么都证明不了——问题在于它是不是在我们说的时间地点拍的。
Priced per factory, not per hour.按工厂计价，不按小时。
The number comes from three things — which depth, how far, how fast — and each one is its own line in the quote. No report fee, no weekend premium, no re-quote after the visit.金额来自三件事：哪一档、多远、多急。每一项都在报价里单独成行——没有报告费、没有周末加价，上门之后也不会再加价。
Desk check桌面核验
No site visit. Public records plus a live video walk-through to confirm the factory exists and matches its claims. For first-contact suppliers.不出门。用公开数据加实时视频，判断这家工厂是否真实存在、是否与宣称一致。适合第一次接触的新供应商。

The discount applies after the surcharges — distance doesn't become free because the order is big. Every line is computed server-side, and the number on your confirmation is the number you pay.折扣加在加价之后——量大不会让距离免费。每一行都由服务端算，确认书上的金额就是你付的金额。
For reference: a three-person team flying to China costs $15,000+. A QIMA audit runs $350–500 per man-day and covers compliance scope only. We are not cheaper than them — we answer a different question.参考一下：三人团队飞中国，1.5 万美元起。QIMA 一次审核每人天 350–500 美元，只覆盖合规范围。我们并不比他们便宜——我们回答的是另一个问题。
Questions buyers ask on the first call.买家第一通电话就会问的问题。
How is this different from QIMA or SGS?这和 QIMA / SGS 有什么区别？
They sell breadth and compliance. We sell one judgement. A standard audit is a checklist run by one inspector for one day — it tells you whether the factory meets a written standard. We spend the same day asking what the standard does not cover: is the stated capacity real, is the process actually in-house, does the owner's story survive contact with the production manager.他们卖广度与合规，我们只卖一个判断。标准审核是一份清单、一个人、一天——它告诉你这家厂是否符合某个书面标准。我们用同一天去问标准覆盖不到的东西：报的产能是真的吗？工序真的在厂内吗？老板的说法经得起厂长对质吗？
We are not cheaper. An audit from them runs $350–500 per man-day for a checklist scope; ours costs more per day, because the day covers what the checklist leaves out. If what you need is a compliance certificate, they are the right answer and we will say so.我们并不更便宜。他们每人天 350–500 美元，做的是清单式审核；我们单日更贵，因为这一天要问的是清单覆盖不到的东西。如果你要的是一份合规证书，他们才是正确答案，我们会直说。
Will my customer or brand accept your report?我的客户 / 品牌方会认可你们的报告吗？
No — and we will not claim otherwise. Brand-mandated audits (BSCI, SMETA, WRAP) can only be issued by authorised firms. Our report is for your own purchasing decision, not for submission to a buyer.不会，我们也不会这么说。品牌方指定的审核（BSCI、SMETA、WRAP）只能由授权机构出具。我们的报告是给你自己做采购决策的，不是拿去交差的。
In practice most of our clients use both: the branded report to satisfy the customer, ours to decide whether to place the order at all.实际操作里，多数客户两份都用：品牌报告用来满足客户，我们的报告用来决定这单到底要不要下。
Can you run a BSCI or SMETA audit?你们能做 BSCI / SMETA 审核吗？
No. Those require amfori or Sedex approval, which we do not have. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either misinformed or planning to subcontract it to someone who does — and then the price includes a margin you did not agree to.不能。那需要 amfori 或 Sedex 的授权，我们没有。谁跟你说能做，要么是不懂，要么是打算转包给有资质的机构，然后在中间加一道你没同意的差价。
Will the factory know I ordered this?工厂会知道是我委托的吗？
They will know someone is looking, because an auditor has to walk in. They will not know who. We approach as a prospective buyer, and your name, company and enquiry never leave our system.他们会知道有人在看，因为审核员必须进门。但他们不会知道是谁。我们以潜在买家身份接触，你的姓名、公司和询盘不会离开我们的系统。
We do not pretend to be a mystery shopper either. A factory that refuses a legitimate look is telling you something, and we write that down.我们也不假装是神秘顾客。一家拒绝正常看厂的工厂本身就在传递信息，我们会把这件事写下来。
What if you find nothing wrong?如果什么问题都没查出来呢？
Then you paid for a decision instead of gambling $40,000 on one. A clean report is a result, not a refund — the factory that passes is the one you should be scaling with, and now you know which questions to stop asking.那你花钱买了一个判断，而不是拿 4 万美元去赌。干净的结论也是结论，不是该退钱的理由——过了这一关的厂，才是你该放量的厂，而且你现在知道哪些问题不用再问了。
How do I know you're not taking money from factories?我怎么知道你们没拿工厂的钱？
You do not, on faith. Three things are checkable: our revenue comes only from buyers, auditors rotate so no one visits the same factory twice, and any negative verdict needs a second signature from someone who never went. The mechanics are on the About page.你没法靠相信。有三件事可以查：收入只来自买方；审核员轮换，同一个人不会两次进同一家厂；任何否定结论都要一位没到过现场的人共同签字。机制写在「关于」页。
What if the factory refuses the visit?工厂拒绝上门怎么办？
A legitimate factory has no reason to refuse a prospective buyer's site visit. Refusal is itself the finding, and it goes at the top of the report. You still pay for the day — the auditor travelled, and the answer is real.正规工厂没有理由拒绝一个潜在买家的看厂。拒绝本身就是发现，会写在报告最前面。这一天仍然收费——审核员跑了，答案是真的。
Do you cover industries other than metalworking?除了五金，你们覆盖其他行业吗？
Six categories: metalworking, sheet metal, casting, plastics and tooling, textiles, electronics. Outside those we either decline or quote with a named auditor whose background we can defend. We do not send a generalist to a specialist factory.六个品类：五金机加工、钣金冲压、铸造锻造、塑胶模具、纺织服装、电子。之外的，我们要么不接，要么配上一位背景能说得清的指定审核员。我们不会派一个通才去看专科厂。
Which supplier are you about to pay?你准备把钱打给哪家？
Send us the name and the address. We will tell you what we find before your deposit clears.把公司名和地址发给我们。在你的定金到账之前，我们告诉你查到了什么。
