Yoga mat factory response comparison matrix

Place requested, offered, unconfirmed and excluded values in separate cells. A matrix exposes gaps without claiming that any supplier or product has already been verified.

Specification worksheet

Use one row for every decision-bearing field

The worksheet is content guidance, not a new backend form. Copy applicable fields into the existing Purchasing requirements box when requesting quotes.

Comparison field	Buyer requirement	Supplier response	Review note
Construction	Material, layers, surface and edge	Offered construction and deviation	Do labels mean the same thing?
Geometry	Length, width, thickness and units	Nominal or finished values and tolerance	What will the sample confirm?
Artwork	Colors, size, placement and file revision	Method, setup, proof and limitation	Who approves production release?
Quantity	Pieces by color or design	MOQ basis and price break	Are variants aggregated?
Packaging	Wrap, strap, carrier, insert and carton	Included components and pack count	Are dimensions confirmed?
Commercial scope	Currency, destination and target timing	Term, charges, validity and exclusions	Is total scope equivalent?

Premium preference

Ask for the construction, finish, customization and review service behind the offer; do not treat “premium” as a verified supplier tier.

Mid-range preference

Identify mandatory attributes and where alternatives are acceptable, then compare the resulting commercial scope.

Budget preference

Record which material, pack or decoration choices may change while preserving the intended use and buyer constraints.

Evidence ladder

Do not promote a statement beyond its evidence level

A product-family reference can frame a question. It cannot replace an exact-item document, sample decision or order-specific confirmation.

Stated requirementThe buyer defines the requested construction and use.
Supplier responseThe supplier states what it proposes and what it excludes.
Document or sample reviewThe buyer checks identity, revision, method and observed deviations.
Order confirmationApproved specifications, artwork, pack and commercial terms are tied to the purchase.
