Orientdig Spreadsheet Checklist Before Saving a Find
A row should solve more questions than it creates. Give one point for each check you can support, then decide whether the row belongs in the shortlist.

Quick answer
Check category fit, relevant photos, sizing or specifications, price context, shipping weight, clear wording, and your reason for saving. Six or seven supported checks make a stronger shortlist candidate; five or fewer need more work.
The worksheet
Seven checks, one point each
Do not award a point because a field exists. Award it only when the field gives you usable information for this category and this comparison.
□ The item belongs in the category I am browsing
The title, image, and destination agree on the product type and subtype. A mislabeled row does not earn the point.
□ Photos show the details that matter
The angles match the category: soles for shoes, dimensions for bags, seams for garments, or connectors for electronics.
□ Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible
When fit matters, a generic size letter is not enough. Look for garment or item measurements and a usable reference.
□ Price makes sense beside similar finds
Compare like with like and note what explains the difference. A low number without a matched option or clear product details gets no point.
□ Shipping weight does not ruin the value
Use a reasonable estimate that includes likely packaging. Do not pretend an estimate is a final charge.
□ The row is not just hype or a vague label
Remove urgency, popularity, and unsupported quality words. The remaining details should still tell you why the row is useful.
□ I can explain why I would save this find
Write one sentence tied to something visible or measurable. If the sentence is only “looks good,” the final point stays blank.
Scoring note
Score your row
The score controls the next action, not the final purchase decision. Even a seven-point row still needs current external details and official policy checks.
Photo desk
QC photos should answer category questions
QC photos are useful when the angle, scale, and item match the question. Four clear views can be better than ten repeated ones.
| Category | Useful photo views | Common gap |
|---|---|---|
| Shoes and sneakers | Both sides, toe, heel, sole, insole or size mark, stitching | No size context or only one display angle |
| Hoodies, shirts, jackets, pants | Measurement points, seams, cuffs, closures, fabric surface | Size label shown without garment measurements |
| Bags | Front, back, sides, base, interior, hardware, closure, scale | No dimensions or interior view |
| Watches and jewelry | Dial or surface, clasp, edges, back, dimension reference | Harsh lighting hides finish or scale |
| Electronics | Ports, labels, connectors, included parts, model information | Generic product image without exact version |
A QC finder, QC photo finder, or GC checker may help locate images, but the tool name does not verify the match. Confirm that the photos show the same item, option, and relevant details as the row.
Worked examples
Good row and weak row
These are fictional examples used to show how the checklist works.
Good row example: hoodie
The row names a zip hoodie, links to a matching source, shows front, back, zipper, hood, cuff, and fabric views, includes chest and length measurements, sits near two comparable prices, and notes an estimated packed weight.
Possible score: 7. Save reason: “Matching source, usable garment measurements, construction photos, and enough price/weight context for the next comparison.”
Weak row example: shoe
The row says “top shoe,” shows one small front image, provides a price without the selected size, and opens a page with several unrelated options. There is no sole view, size reference, or weight context.
Possible score: 1. The category is visible, but the row needs too much reconstruction to deserve a shortlist place.
The one-sentence rule
Save only when you can name the reason and the remaining question
“I am saving this because the measurements and detail photos are clear; I still need to confirm packed weight” is a useful note. It records what you know and what you still need.
Avoid notes that merely repeat the title, price, or popularity label. Those fields remain visible in the sheet and do not explain your judgment.
What to do next
Route the row by its score
A strong score earns a closer look, not automatic trust. A weak score saves you the time of opening more uncertain pages.
6–7 points
Open the relevant category or source page and re-check that the current external details match.
4–5 points
Find the missing photo, measurement, source clue, or weight estimate before keeping the row.
0–3 points
Remove it for now. A later, clearer row can replace it without carrying the same unanswered questions.
