The questions people ask
- What counts as a "statement" here?
- Any standing declaration a buyer asks for that isn't a lot-specific test result: allergen, GMO, BSE/TSE, residual solvents, heavy metals, pesticide, kosher, halal, vegan, country of origin, food-grade, and novel-food/NDI status. Each is registered as its own kind, with its own typical validity window where one exists, and a plain "no standard window, review annually" where it doesn't, never treated the same as a missing date.
- Do I have to re-answer every buyer's own questionnaire format?
- No. Upload the file they sent and it comes back in the same shape, with the answers written into their own cells from the statements you already hold. Their layout is learned once, checked by somebody at your company before it is used, and reused every time they send that form again. Anything you do not hold comes back naming the document that would answer it.
- Does a buyer need an account to see what I publish?
- No. A published link opens on any phone, no login, no password. It shows only what you chose: a pinned document, or a standing selection like "current allergen statement" that resolves to whatever is current when they open it.
- What about ingredient-specific rules: is that mapped?
- There's a real projection over the compiled requirements graph asking exactly that question, and we'd rather show you its honest current answer than a promise: read on below.
- Can I chase my own upstream suppliers with the same tool?
- Yes. The request mechanism that publishes downstream is the same one that chases upstream: a no-login upload link and a written request either way, direction set per relationship.
