Strong shortlist candidate
Well documented for further research, but still not verified.
Pre-save checklist
Yupoo Spreadsheet Checklist Before Saving a Find
A short checklist makes weak links easier to remove and strong-looking links easier to question.
Quick answer
Score only what you can see and connect. A high score means the result is better documented for a shortlist; it does not verify the product, seller, source, or transaction.
Nine checks
Mark each statement only when the evidence is present
- The item belongs in the category I am researching.
- The album or catalog photos show the details that matter.
- Watermarks and contact details are reasonably consistent.
- Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible when needed.
- Price is compared with similar results rather than judged alone.
- Shipping weight does not remove the value.
- The source or purchase link matches the item being shown.
- QC photos are relevant to the same item or source when available.
- I can explain why I would save this result.

How to interpret the total
Research further
Useful evidence exists, but important questions remain.
Weak evidence
The result needs major gaps resolved before it deserves attention.
Remove for now
Keep your shortlist clean unless new evidence changes the score.
Example score
A stronger result
Why it stays on the shortlist
The category is correct; the album shows the useful angles and measurements; the item code matches a separately saved source; price context includes its page and check date; weight is considered; and relevant QC images appear connected to the same option. The row still labels seller and transaction status as unverified.
Example score
A weak result
Why it leaves the active list
The row has one album link, a vague title, no item code, mismatched contact details, no measurements, an unsupported price, no raw source, and QC images that cannot be tied to the same item. Attractive photos do not resolve those gaps.
One-sentence rule
Save the reason and the unknown together
Save a result only when you can state what evidence makes it useful and which specific question still needs an answer.
This rule prevents a spreadsheet from becoming a pile of links whose original purpose has been forgotten.
