Identifying High-Quality Sellers
Analyze the collected data to spot reliable partners and potential risks:

The Improving Seller
A seller showing a positive trend—where initial QC failures decrease significantly over subsequent orders—indicates good responsiveness and commitment to quality. Their defect logs should show they have addressed previously noted issues.
