Order value in USD, for the full-engagement commission.
Inspection man-days. One SKU with standard sampling is typically one man-day; three SKUs on one order is one to two.
Number of basic factory audits (one day on site each).
Additional audit man-days beyond the basic scope.
True if the factory is more than 100 km from Jinhua, Zhejiang (for example in Guangdong).
Number of suppliers to verify.
