Replacing assumed proto, fit, PP, TOP, and shipment-sample sequences with risk-based decision gates
What the source establishes.
The guide cites current ISO lot-sampling and documented-information sources, NIST measurement-process guidance, U.S. Department of Commerce supplier-sample boundaries, and OECD garment-sector due-diligence guidance while rejecting universal stage counts and timing.
The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface.
What this record does not prove.
The record does not prescribe a universal sample sequence, count, turnaround, statistical plan, fit protocol, test, pass value, production release, or contract consequence, and it does not replace qualified technical, fit, quality, testing, statistical, responsible-sourcing, compliance, and legal review.
A reachable official source can verify identity, stated scope, and access. It cannot silently become an audit of workmanship, delivery, labor conditions, or suitability for your project.
A record that can age in public.
New checks are appended rather than replacing earlier states. The latest source review is due by July 16, 2027.
