Independent review practice

Specialists for every category we authenticate

Leatherwork, footwear, horology, and fine jewelry each have their own evaluation criteria, so each item is reviewed by a specialist trained in that discipline.

Specialist disciplines

Criteria shaped by each category

Leather goods

Stitch density, edge finishing, lining construction, and hardware weight are examined against known production references.

Footwear and sneakers

Sole construction, last shape, midsole markings, and material finish are checked against documented pairs.

Watches and jewelry

Movement finishing, dial printing, hallmarks, metal alloy, and stone setting are documented with close-up evidence.

Review protocol

Blind second reviews for complex cases

Each case is assigned privately to a reviewer. Evidence notes record hardware, metallurgy, fonts, and stitching, and complex items receive a blind second review before any outcome is approved by an administrator.

Outcomes are recorded as authentic, counterfeit, or inconclusive. The reviewer dashboard that supports this workflow is planned and will be documented as it is built.
