THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Use clear examples tied to the product and label the location, observed issue and agreed treatment. Keep accepted variation separate from unacceptable results. Generic pictures from another product may not define the criteria for this order.
The decision behind the detail.
A defect name alone can be interpreted differently. Use the approved sample and specific observations to clarify the boundary.
PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT
Three details to bring.
- Issue examples
- List the product-specific appearance concerns.
- Reference images
- Identify approved and unacceptable examples.
- Agreed treatment
- Record how each issue should be reported or assessed.
Check together
- Keep the criteria connected to the current revision.
- Distinguish deliberate design variation from an issue.
- Resolve ambiguous examples before inspection begins.
