| Know before using | A profile, proposal, match, or escrow status does not establish factory ownership, identity, capacity, workmanship, quality systems, labour or chemical compliance, delivery performance, contract enforceability, or project fit. Verify the legal and production entities, references, site and subcontracting, samples, compliance evidence, specifications, terms, and remedies directly. | The workflow is not a contract or quality certification; local legal duties and technical review may still apply. | A foundational library, not yet an exhaustive stitch encyclopedia. |

| What the source establishes | Sewport's current brand workflow starts with an account and guided project enquiry, then exposes proposals from garment factories and production specialists. The platform tells brands to compare profiles, portfolios, location, price, and communication, then record service, delivery, payment, and contract terms in a formal proposal. Its service-provider workflow includes factories, sample studios, pattern cutters, tech-pack makers, sourcing specialists, and material suppliers, with optional split-payment escrow. | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. |
