DECISIONS BEFORE THE ORDER

Four questions a verification record should answer.

The review depth follows the product, supplier route and decision risk. A general factory profile is not the conclusion.

  1. 01

    Identity

    Which Chinese legal entity is responsible for the quotation, contract and payment route?

  2. 02

    Business role

    Is the contact acting as manufacturer, seller, exporter, intermediary or a combination of roles?

  3. 03

    Capability

    What evidence connects the actual factory processes to the buyer's product and acceptance criteria?

  4. 04

    Open risk

    Which statements still need documents, observation, testing or specialist review?

CHOOSE THE EVIDENCE YOU NEED

Three ways to resolve an open question.

Use desk, remote or on-site work independently, or combine them around the decision. Agree the scope before work begins.

DOCUMENT CHECK

Desk review

Who is behind the quotation?

Useful when
The supplier's identity, business role or payment route is unclear.
Evidence may include
Registration records, contracting entities and relevant supplier documents.
Limit of the check
Documents alone do not confirm production capability.
Discuss a desk review
LIVE REVIEW

Remote capability review

Can a focused live review answer it?

Useful when
A defined capability question can be checked through documents and live discussion.
Evidence may include
Interviews, relevant records and an agreed live view of the process.
Limit of the check
Unseen or unsupported claims remain open.
Discuss a remote review
FACTORY VISIT

On-site factory visit

What needs to be observed in person?

Useful when
The decision needs direct observation at the proposed production site.
Evidence may include
Observed equipment, process controls and records from the agreed visit agenda.
Limit of the check
A visit does not prove future production performance.
Discuss an on-site visit

WHICHEVER ROUTE YOU USE

One scoped evidence record.

Connect each finding to the supplier, requirement, source and date of the check.

VerifiedChecked within the stated scope.
Supplier-statedProvided, but not independently confirmed.
OpenMore evidence or specialist review is needed.

Unresolved items stay Open. The buyer retains the approval decision; the record is not supplier certification.

SCOPE BEFORE CLAIMS

Verification supports a buyer decision. It does not replace it.

RISVO supplier verification is a commercial sourcing and project-control process. It is not a statutory inspection, laboratory certification or independent third-party audit. Product testing, customs, legal, engineering, certification and destination compliance are assigned to the appropriate responsible party when they fall outside the agreed scope.
