7-step workflow
From an Orientdig link to a useful shortlist
Begin with a real product question, keep one category in scope, check that destinations match, record unknowns and stop when a row cannot explain itself.

Orientdig Spreadsheet Articles That Help You Decide
Clear methods for turning links, photos and spreadsheet fields into a smaller set of options you can explain—not a longer list of tabs.
Start with the workflow article if you are new to spreadsheet browsing. Use the shopping agent names guide when a link came from another service, the QC guide when photos are the main evidence, and the comparison guide when several rows look equally promising.
Photo evidence
How to review QC photos without overreading them
Separate what a photo shows from what it merely suggests. Check identity, shape, construction, measurements and missing views in five passes.

Compare spreadsheet rows without letting price decide
Label evidence as known, unknown or missing, then compare the few fields that matter for that category instead of scoring hype.

Shopping agent names: what changes?
See which differences affect the product link, the account you use and the checks you still need to make.
Read the names guide →A sensible reading order
- Check the link label. The shopping agent names guide explains what can change when a product link is shared through another service.
- Learn the workflow. The seven-step article shows how discovery, evidence and decision fit together.
- Improve the photo check. The QC guide explains what different views can and cannot tell you.
- Compare the survivors. The row-comparison method helps you choose which option deserves deeper research.
What these articles do differently
They do not pretend that a spreadsheet row is an endorsement, that QC photos guarantee quality, or that an estimate is a final cost. Each guide names the missing information, shows a reusable note format and keeps account, payment, refund, tracking and shipping support with the relevant official service.
