Seven questions before save
Orientdig Spreadsheet Checklist Before Saving a Find
A shortlist should get smaller as evidence improves. Give one point for each check the row can actually satisfy.
Score the row on category fit, useful photos, measurements, comparable price, shipping weight, specific wording and a clear reason to save. Six or seven points earns more research; it does not guarantee quality or a safe purchase.
The seven-point checklist
- The item belongs in the category I am browsing.
- Photos show the details that matter for this product type.
- Sizing, measurements or fit notes are visible when needed.
- Price makes sense beside similar finds.
- Shipping weight does not ruin the value.
- The row is not just hype or a vague label.
- I can explain why I would save this find.
Score your row
| Score | Reading | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| 6–7 | Strong shortlist candidate | Inspect the external details carefully. |
| 4–5 | Research more | Find the missing photos, measurements or weight context. |
| 2–3 | Weak row | Compare a better-documented option. |
| 0–1 | Remove for now | Do not let a low price or label substitute for evidence. |
QC photos by category
QC photos should answer product-specific questions. For shoes, look for both sides, toe shape, heel, sole and insole measurement. Clothing benefits from flat measurements, seams, labels where relevant and fabric close-ups. Bags need exterior, interior, base, straps and hardware. A generic QC checker cannot repair photos that do not show the needed area.
A good row example
A hoodie row states chest and length measurements, shows front, back, cuffs, hem and interior, sits beside comparable hoodies, includes a plausible weight field and leads to a matching external page. The row is useful because the evidence is specific.
A weak row example
A jacket row has one front image, a generic size label, no weight context, no material detail and a destination with different wording. A dramatic name or unusually low price does not answer those gaps.
The one-sentence save rule
Save the row only when you can finish this sentence: “This option stays because it shows ___ more clearly than the alternatives.”
Why the score is not a verdict
The total is a triage tool, not a product rating. Two rows can earn the same score for different reasons, so keep the notes beside the number. A row with excellent photos but a mismatched destination should not survive, while one missing packed weight may simply need one follow-up check. Remove contradictions before comparing totals, and never treat six or seven points as a guarantee of quality, fit, seller reliability or delivery.
What to do next
If the row passes, revisit the category checks, account for shipping weight, and read the external-link safety notes. The FAQ covers QC finders, source terms and support boundaries.
