EVIDENCE / ARTIFACT STANDARD

What credible pilot-build evidence should show

This page publishes an evaluation framework, not a customer case study. No customer, volume, schedule, facility, capacity, certification, or performance result is represented here.

Bring the part, volume, material or process, and deadline. The build desk screens the route before anyone commits capacity or lead time.

BUILD EVIDENCE RULE

An artifact should make the decision reconstructable.

A useful production record identifies the product basis, work performed, evidence collected, exception path, decision authority, and release outcome. A polished image without that chain is decoration, not proof.

No evidence is better than invented evidence.

When an approved artifact is unavailable, the page stays with the honest evaluation template. It does not replace the gap with a logo wall, stock photograph, vague testimonial, or implied credential.
