Application #0163 · Customer evidence

Our six-week pilot with a mid-sized spice exporter ran 40,000 sachets through their existing form-fill-seal line with no tooling change, and the buyer has signed a purchase intent letter.

Customer evidence9 / 10

High confidence
Quote checked

Buyer evidence rather than survey evidence, which is rare at this stage.

Scored against your rubric, with the evidence

Each criterion scored against your descriptors, with the words it relied on. Every quote is checked before you see it.Each criterion is scored against your own descriptors, with the reason in plain words and the exact words it relied on. Every quote is checked against the application before you see it, and confidence per criterion shows where to look closer.
