Buyer workflow
How JFScope Works
JFScope structures China sourcing work around buyer decisions: define the question, collect evidence, identify gaps, recommend a decision and support the approved next step.
Five stages from question to decision
1. Fit reviewConfirm the buyer question, category, market, stage and decision deadline.
2. ScopeDefine evidence sources, field work, deliverables, limitations, timing and fees.
3. Evidence reviewSeparate public records, supplier statements, documents, field observations and transaction evidence.
4. Buyer decision briefTranslate findings into approve, verify, renegotiate, delay, replace or reject decisions.
5. Approved execution
Supplier contact, factory visits, inspection follow-up or sourcing coordination begins only after the buyer approves the next step.

What a buyer can receive
| Deliverable | Typical content | Buyer decision |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier evidence brief | Identity, ownership, address, capability claims, payment path and evidence gaps. | Shortlist, verify or reject. |
| Category feasibility brief | Supplier landscape, manufacturing regions, MOQ, quality and compliance pressure. | Proceed, change scope or compare markets. |
| Factory verification scope | Visit questions, photo evidence, process checkpoints and unresolved claims. | Approve production access or request proof. |
| Inspection decision review | Defect severity, AQL context, rework evidence and shipment-release conditions. | Release, rework, reinspect or hold. |
| Execution tracker | RFQ, sample, production, inspection, documents and shipping milestones. | Escalate delays and control release gates. |
