Centennial, Colorado · since 2017
We send contract auditors to your supplier's dock, line or warehouse and return a signed, photographed, dimensionally-checked record of what is actually in the box. Front Range same-week, statewide on schedule, and the report lands in your inbox with the evidence attached.
01
Six standard briefs. Every one of them produces the same three things: measurement, photograph, sign-off. If a supplier argues about a rejection later, the record is already filed against the lot number.
Random draw against an agreed AQL, calipers and pin gauges to the drawing's stated tolerances, each dimension recorded with the instrument serial.
Full ballooned drawing walk on the first unit of a run, characteristic by characteristic, with a deviation column you can send straight to the customer.
Unannounced presence at the inbound dock through a shipping window: seal integrity, pallet count against ASN, condition, temperature logger read.
Barcode scan grade, human-readable fields against the released artwork, case-pack count, drop-test observation on the first case of each configuration.
Half-day walk of the supplier's process controls ahead of your own audit cycle: calibration stickers, traceability, nonconforming-material segregation.
On-site sort of a suspect lot under your disposition, sorted into pass, hold and scrap bins, counted in triplicate and tagged before the supplier touches it.
02
Per assignment, not per hour, so a slow dock does not cost you extra. Travel beyond 60 miles from the office is billed at the federal mileage rate and shown as a separate line. No minimum contract.

Four steps, no portals to learn. You send the drawing and the window; we do the rest and you read the result.
Drawing, revision, AQL level, window and the name of the person who meets the auditor at the gate.
An auditor with the right instruments is assigned and confirmed to you with their certification number.
Sampling, measurement and photography on site, with deviations called in to you the moment they appear.
Signed report, photo set, instrument log and disposition recommendation inside the stated turnaround.
04
Abridged extract of a closed QA-01. Every field is populated on a real record; nothing here is a template placeholder.
Lot size 1,200. General level II, single normal. Sample 80 drawn from four cartons across the pallet, cartons opened in front of the supplier's lead.
3 of 80 with bore diameter above the upper limit by 0.05–0.11 mm. All three from carton 2. Remaining dimensions in tolerance. Burr present on the same three in the same orientation.
80 measurement rows with instrument serial 4471-C, photo set of 26 frames, carton labels, tool log page for the shift, supplier lead's signature on the hold tag.
On site 08:10–10:05. Deviation called to the buyer at 09:22, before the sample was finished. Report filed 11:40 the same morning.
05
Repeat work across the following, mostly from buyers who inherited a supplier problem and need eyes on it this week.
We pay independent auditors per accepted assignment, not per hour, and we pay the day the report is accepted. Briefs arrive as a drawing, an AQL level and a two-hour window; you bring instruments, a phone with a working camera and a car.
Standard assignments run $95 to $180 depending on the line and the distance. First-article work is quoted individually because it can eat a morning. Payment is by prepaid card, issued within two business days of acceptance, and it clears the same day you receive it.
Requirement: own calipers and pin gauge set, 18 or older, working in Colorado, one paid trial assignment before a standing slot. No resume needed — take the trial and we will judge the work.
06
The three below come up on nearly every first call, so they are answered here instead.
Always yours, at the revision you release. If the supplier is building to an older revision, that is itself a finding and goes in the report with both drawings photographed side by side.
Inside the metro, four hours during a weekday if the rush surcharge is accepted. Statewide is next weekday as a rule, and the auditor is confirmed to you before dispatch so you can tell the supplier who to expect.
The measurement rows and instrument serials are in the report, so a dispute becomes a calibration question rather than an argument about impressions. We hold the raw sheets for 24 months and will re-measure the retained sample at no charge.
Saturday dispatch is available for receiving windows that only open then, at the weekday rate. Sunday is by arrangement with 24 hours notice.
Yes. Send the form with the brief and it is signed at the dock, with a copy scanned into the report the same day.
No. Single assignments are the normal case and are priced exactly as published above.
07
Tell us the part, the window and the supplier. You get a confirmed auditor and a reference number back, usually the same day.
