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.
