Define a minimum quality baseline
Every device should pass battery, thermals, storage health, and performance checks before listing.
A written baseline improves consistency across internal and vendor inventory.
Standardize exception handling
When issues occur, escalation and replacement states should follow one operational playbook.
Standard exception handling reduces downtime and support confusion.
Make quality visible to users
Quality signals in listings and activation flows improve confidence before payment.
Transparency in condition and lifecycle status directly improves activation trust.
