02 · Recommendation and evidence gaps
Illustrative recommendation: evaluate Supplier B’s physical sample first because its documented specification and quoted cost appear to fit the brief. Do not treat the lowest quote as equivalent until materials and packaging match.
- All supplier identities, capacity and documents require verification in a real project.
- A quotation alone does not prove production quality or capacity.
- Production time starts from the milestone agreed with the supplier; freight time is separate.
03 · Buyer decisions before ordering
Approve the sample, final specification, packaging, delivery terms, payment stages and inspection scope. Record who approved each item and when. Supplier quotations and sample photos would be attached to the real report.
