The starting point.
Information supplied by the manufacturer. It helps start a conversation, but is not independent confirmation.
- Identify who supplied the information.
- Record the material and process context.
- Make missing evidence visible.
EVIDENCE, EXPLAINED
A claim is a start.
Context makes it useful.
A useful capability record explains what is claimed, what supports it, and how relevant it is to the requirement.
Inspect the supporting record.
A relevant document has been reviewed against a defined claim. Its scope and date should remain visible.
- Link the claim to its supporting record.
- State what the review covered.
- Keep limitations and open questions.
Relate it to actual work.
A defined capability has been shown through a relevant part, assessment or qualification activity.
- Explain the conditions of the demonstration.
- Distinguish a sample from repeat production.
- Review relevance to the next requirement.
These are the evidence categories Fabstacks is designing around. The example profiles on this site do not represent completed reviews or supplier verification.

What conversation, assessment or qualification work remains?
A single badge cannot explain every capability. A certificate or sample report should be read within its scope.
