Quick answer

Save a result only when you can explain the category, useful photo evidence, sizing or measurement basis, price context, weight impact, source-link match, and relevant QC evidence.

This nine-point score ranks the strength of your research note. It does not verify a product, seller, or transaction.

Nine-point checklist

Tick a point only when the page or your note contains enough evidence to support it. Do not award half points for a guess.

The boxes work on this page for your current visit. The site does not save or transmit your selections.

How to score a result

8–9Strong shortlist candidate, but still not verified.
5–7Research further. Name the missing evidence.
3–4Weak evidence. Do not let one polished photo carry the row.
0–2Remove for now. The link is creating more uncertainty than value.

Re-score when a source page, measurement, or relevant QC set becomes available. A high score can fall if contact details change or the source link stops matching.

Strong example

A useful footwear row

The row identifies shoes as the category, records a visible code, links the album and source separately, notes both side views and a sole photo, gives an insole measurement for the shown size, records the date checked, and links a QC set that appears to use the same code and color. Price and packed weight remain marked as estimates.

Why it is stronger: the note makes its evidence and uncertainty easy to see. It still does not verify the uploader or transaction.

Weak example

An unexplained “good find”

The row has a screenshot, a shortened link, an unexplained number, and a claim that the seller is safe. It has no direct album URL, category-specific details, measurements, source match, QC context, date, or weight note.

Why it is weak: the row cannot be checked later and asks the reader to trust conclusions that the evidence does not support.

One-sentence save rule

Save the result only if you can finish this sentence: “This page is worth keeping because it shows ___, links ___, and leaves ___ to check.”

If the first two blanks are vague and the last blank is long, the result is not ready for a shortlist.

What to do next

If category evidence is weak, return to category-first research. If the album and QC photos are difficult to match, use the QC comparison guide. Check shipping weight before comparing value, and remove contact or payment red flags with the buyer-safety guide.

The FAQ gives direct answers when one field—price, purchase link, password, or seller check—is blocking the next decision.
