Mark one point for each check the row passes. Six or seven points earns a place on the shortlist; four or five needs more research; three or fewer is usually not worth keeping yet.

The seven-point checklist
- The item belongs in the category I am browsing.
- Photos show the details that matter for this product type.
- Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible when needed.
- Price makes sense beside similar finds.
- Shipping weight does not ruin the value.
- The row is not just hype or a vague label.
- I can explain why I would save this find.
Score your row
The score measures how much useful context the row provides. It is not a quality rating, seller rating, safety guarantee, or recommendation to order.
Do not let points hide an essential failure
Not every check has equal importance for every product. A row can collect points for category, price, source, and photos but still fail if the one measurement or compatibility detail that decides usability is missing.
Recoverable gap
A hoodie has a clear size chart, useful photos, and a matching source page, but the likely package weight is still an estimate. Keep it temporarily and make weight the next targeted check.
Essential failure
Headphones look clear and inexpensive, but the connector, model compatibility, or included adapter is unknown. Do not award other evidence enough power to cancel that risk.
Override rule: if one missing detail could make the exact option unusable, the row is not ready for the shortlist regardless of its total score.
QC photos by category
Okeyhaul QC photos should answer product-specific questions. More images are not automatically better; useful angles and close-ups matter more.
Shoes
Look for both side profiles, toe shape, heel, sole, stitching, and a size reference. If the box matters for shipping weight, note that separately.
Clothing
Check front and back, tags only when relevant, seams, print or embroidery close-ups, and measurements that can be compared with clothing you own.
Bags
Look for shape, corners, seams, straps, hardware, closures, interior, and a clear sense of scale or stated dimensions.
Watches and accessories
Prioritize straight-on alignment, side profile, clasp or closure, hardware, finish, size, and any product-specific functional details.
A photo tool may help you locate extra images, but the images still need to be current and connected to the exact item and option. More photos do not help when they avoid the detail you need. This site does not operate a photo-checking tool.
Good row example
A shoe row sits inside a footwear comparison, has multiple useful angles, includes a size reference, links to a relevant current source page, shows enough details to compare with two similar rows, and notes a weight estimate that includes likely packaging. You can save it with a precise reason: “best visible sizing and sole evidence of the three.”
Weak row example
A mixed-category sheet labels a row “top pick,” shows one polished photo, omits size information, gives no weight context, and points to a page whose item title does not match. Its price looks low, but there is no fair comparison. Remove it until the missing information is found.
The one-sentence save rule
Save a row only when you can finish this sentence: “This belongs on my shortlist because the visible evidence shows…”
If the sentence ends with popularity, hype, a coupon, or a vague “looks good,” keep researching.
What to do next
Rows scoring four or five should go to one targeted check, not a general search spiral. Find the missing measurement, source page, useful photo, or weight context. If the row reaches six or seven, compare it once more with its nearest alternative before continuing externally.
- Name the single most important gap.
- Use one category-specific search or source-page check.
- Record the answer as confirmed, estimated, or still missing.
- Rescore once. If the same essential gap remains, remove the row rather than restarting a broad search.
