## Frequently asked questions

### What is the fastest reliable inspection check?

The used area, not the display area: holes on belts, soles on shoes, seams and labels on clothing. Wear collects where the item worked.

### How should inspection notes be written?

Same fields, same order, every time, with the SKU. Consistency is what makes notes useful in a dispute.

### When should a borderline item be declined?

When policy and evidence line up. If evidence is mixed, record the doubt and escalate rather than improvising.
