Rate a supplier across 20 factors covering company background, production capability, quality systems, commercial terms and export readiness. The scorecard gives you a preliminary assessment to guide your next steps.
Rate each area from 1 to 5. Use 1 for poor, 3 for average, 5 for excellent. Leave blank if you cannot assess. This gives you a rough score to guide further due diligence — it is not a substitute for a factory audit.

Common Questions
What is a good supplier score?
There is no universal threshold. A score above 3.5/5 across all categories suggests a supplier worth investigating further. A score below 2.5 in quality or commercial areas should raise concerns. But always verify in person before placing large orders.
Should I trust this score alone?
No. This is a thinking tool — it helps you organise what you know and spot gaps in your knowledge. A supplier might score well on paper but fail on delivery. A factory visit and sample testing are essential steps that no online scorecard can replace.
