Status this week
At risk — 6 to 8 days late. Glaze for the “sage green” color (4,000 pcs) failed the supplier’s own color check and is being redone. The supplier now states a ship-ready date of 2026-11-27, 7 days after the PO date. Client decision needed: accept the new date, or ship the other two colors first (see R-02).

Progress evidence (sample layout)
Every progress file is dated and labeled with its source, so you always know whether we saw it ourselves, saw it on live video, or received it from the supplier. This sample contains no real photos: the boxes below are SAMPLE placeholders.
| Ref | Source | Date (UTC+8) | What it supports | Status |
| P-05, P-06 | Screenshots taken by OSMANTH during live video VC-01 | 10-23 14:32–14:36 | M3: 50% formed & first firing | Observed remotely |
| P-07 | Photo sent by supplier | 10-24 09:15 | R-02: sage green glaze rejected | Supplier Stated |
| P-01 – P-04 | Photos sent by supplier | 10-06 – 10-20 | M1, M2 | Supplier Stated |
How we label progress evidence
- Taken by us on site: can be “Independently Verified”. Original files keep their date, time and location data.
- Taken by us during live video: “Observed remotely”, with the call date and time.
- Sent by the supplier: “Supplier Stated”, however convincing it looks. We ask for dated photos, but we don’t treat them as proof.
If you need independent confirmation before a payment, an on-site check can be added and quoted separately.

Next steps (week of 10-26)
- Client decision on R-02 (single or split shipment) — requested by 10-28.
- Request dated photos of the new sage green test tiles beside the approved color sample (R-03).
- Weekly call with Mr. Chen on 10-30; request evidence for M4 (glazing).
- Optional: on-site check of packing before the balance payment — quoted separately.
Limitations of this report
- Most progress information this period was provided by the supplier and is labeled “Supplier Stated”.
- Items seen by live video are labeled “Observed remotely”; we did not visit the factory in this period.
- The Supplier Confirmation Form records the supplier’s own statements and is not independent verification.
- We cannot make the supplier meet a date; this report makes delays visible early so you can decide.
- This is order follow-up, not a quality inspection.
Conclusion wording
Based on supplier statements and one remote video check, forming appears complete and two of three colors are on schedule. The sage green color is at risk of a 7-day delay (R-02). No item in this update was independently verified in person.
