The seven-point checklist
- 01The item belongs in the category I am browsing
- 02Photos show the details that matter for this product type
- 03Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible when needed
- 04Price makes sense beside similar finds
- 05Shipping weight does not ruin the value
- 06The row is not just hype or a vague label
- 07I can explain why I would save this find
Give one point only when the row or destination provides useful evidence. “I can probably find it later” is not a point.
Score your row
Strong shortlist candidate
The row gives you a clear reason and only a small number of specific questions remain.
Research more
There may be something useful here, but missing photos, sizing, source, or weight context still matters.
Weak row
The title or image is doing more work than the actual evidence. Set it aside.
Remove for now
The row has not earned another click. You can always revisit it if better information appears.
QC photos should answer category-specific questions
Shoes and sneakers
Look for both profiles, toe shape, heel alignment, outsole, insole measurement, and consistent lighting.
Hoodies and jackets
Check the garment laid flat, measurement points, seams, cuffs, lining, closures, and fabric texture.
Bags and accessories
Use scale references, interior views, hardware close-ups, strap anchors, edge finishing, and dimensions.
Watches and jewelry
Expect close focus, true dimensions, clasp or crown detail, finish, and more than one angle.
A QC finder, QC photo finder, or quality check search can help locate imagery. It cannot decide whether the imagery is complete, current, or relevant to the exact option you are considering.
Good row example
This example does not guarantee the item. It earns a place on the shortlist because the remaining question is narrow and the evidence already relates to the category.
Weak row example
This row leaves every practical question open. Its broad label and social energy are not enough to justify more tabs.
The one-sentence save rule
Save the row only if you can name the useful evidence and the one question you still need to resolve.
That sentence prevents the shortlist from becoming a second spreadsheet. It also makes later comparison faster because you can remember why each row survived.
