Why this level of detail
A buyer's first questions are always about certification, lead time and after-sales. Without these, a product cannot be quoted or delivered.
Six dimensions, assessed and graded
The result sets the priority of resource investment and which tier of the product pool the product enters. That tier decides whether partners have any incentive to push it.
Company
Entity status, years in operation, delivery history and integrity record.
Quality
Product consistency and test reports; whether stable mass-production quality control exists.
Price
Whether the gap between channel and retail price supports channel incentive.
Channel margin
If the product is profitable for you but not for the channel, it will not sell — nobody has a reason to push it.
Delivery and after-sales
Whether lead time, MOQ, logistics and after-sales response actually hold up.
Market fit and compliance
Whether target-market entry, certification and restricted countries are clear.
The result is graded and maps directly to resource investment: some products enter the priority promotion list with dedicated sales materials and training; others start with limited trial operation and are re-checked against real transaction data; those that fail verification are not admitted. The specific grading criteria and weightings are 8FO's internal assessment tools and are not published on this site.
Field groups every product must have
Without a standard card a product cannot be trained on, quoted or delivered — which means it cannot be sold at scale.
| Field group | Fields |
|---|---|
| Identity and positioning | SKU · category · target countries · ICP (ideal customer profile) |
| Price and commission | Channel price · suggested retail price · margin structure · commission rules |
| Delivery and fulfilment | Lead time · MOQ · logistics · after-sales |
| Sales support | FAQ · talk tracks · training · cases · images · video |
| Compliance limits | Restricted countries and required market-entry certification |

Six grounds for suspension or termination
Serious quality incident
Causing customer loss or a safety risk.
IP infringement
Infringing another party's trademark, patent or copyright.
False claims
Inaccurate parameters, certification or performance figures.
Deliberate deal circumvention
Transacting directly with a partner's customer, bypassing the platform.
Material compliance risk
Breaching target-market entry rules or export controls.
Serious delivery default
Systematic delay or inability to fulfil.
"Deliberate deal circumvention" cuts both ways. It does not only constrain suppliers — it binds partners equally, because circumvention breaks the entire commission chain.
