What the lane is designed to do.
Competency-gated cosmetic finishing and approved minor restoration. Structural or specialist work is referred or declined.
Acceptance requires material and condition review, ownership or customer authorization, scope confirmation, risk disclosure, pricing status, capacity, trained staff, safe products, and documented custody. A pair may be declined even when the customer hopes it can be saved.
May include
- Minor approved cosmetic finishing
- Approved edge and surface touch-up
- Specialist review before acceptance
- Before-and-after documentation
- Release only after higher-level QA
Outside current scope
- Sole reconstruction
- Complex leather repair
- Rare-sneaker speculation
- Counterfeit or untraceable product
- Work beyond verified competency
How acceptance works
IntakeBook the job or batch, identify the owner or lawful source, photograph the pair, document condition, and establish requested scope.
AssessConfirm material, exclusions, risks, estimated timing, price status, and authorization before work begins.
TraceAssign a unique identifier and maintain documented location and custody from receipt through return or disposition.
CareUse material-specific methods, approved products, required PPE, and competency-based task assignment.
Dry + QACompletely dry the item, complete independent quality review, and stop release when standards are not met.
HandoffComplete payment or agreement documentation, verify return or disposition, collect feedback, and reconcile the work order.
Quality release
Completion is not the same as release. The item must be fully dried, matched to the work order, inspected by an authorized reviewer, accurately represented, and reconciled for return or disposition.
No service page guarantees stain removal, odor elimination, sanitation, restoration to original condition, structural repair, or a fixed turnaround before the pilot evidence is complete.
