How it works

From one verified company identifier to a decision-ready report.

MadeSure AI turns scattered public information into a structured supplier investigation while preserving where every claim came from and how strongly it was verified.

  4. AI Supplier Due Diligence Report

    AI-powered supplier intelligence, shaped by professional sourcing expertise, with source-linked findings on identity, manufacturing, trade activity, and risk.

One code. One legal entity. Clearer next steps.

  • WHAT IT IS

    An 18-character registration identifier

    The Unified Social Credit Code identifies a registered Chinese legal entity. It is not a credit score and does not, by itself, prove that a supplier is reliable.

  • WHERE TO GET IT

    Ask for the Chinese business licence

    The code is usually printed on the supplier’s Chinese business licence. Ask the supplier to send the licence or provide the complete 18-character code.

  • WHY IT MATTERS

    Match the entity before you research it

    Use the USCC to compare the registered company with the quotation, contract, invoice, payment beneficiary, and other supplier documents.

Four stages, one evidence trail.

  1. 01

    Verify the legal entity

    MadeSure AI sends the submitted 18-character USCC to the company registry and starts deeper research only after the same code resolves to one mainland-Chinese legal entity.

  2. 02

    Collect China-native and global evidence

    We gather source-linked evidence across Global B2B Platforms and Global Social Media, then China-local sources including Chinese Social Media, Public Procurement Records, Chinese B2B Platforms, Customs & Trade Records, Official Company Registries, Legal & Enforcement Records, and Recruitment Platforms.

  3. 03

    Use AI to reconcile claims and conflicts

    AI compares supplier claims with independent evidence, connects related entities, identifies contradictions and patterns across sources, and keeps uncertainty visible instead of turning a missing signal into a negative fact.

  4. 04

    Turn the evidence into a decision-ready report

    AI synthesizes the collected evidence into a structured report covering identity, manufacturing signals, trade activity, risks, limitations, and recommended next questions, while keeping every important finding traceable to its source.

What the report does not do: it does not guarantee that a supplier is safe or replace product inspections, legal review, or a physical factory audit.

Nine source families, cross-validated into one conclusion.

MadeSure AI collects relevant evidence from these nine source families and analyzes each item against the resolved legal entity. It then cross-validates names, dates, locations, products, relationships, and operating claims across sources, reconciles conflicts, and produces the most reliable conclusion the available evidence supports—while keeping limitations and unresolved questions visible.

  1. 01Collect

    Search relevant source families using the resolved legal name, identifiers, aliases, domains, and account handles.

  2. 02Analyze

    Extract entities, dates, products, locations, activity, risk events, source URLs, confidence, and access limits.

  3. 03Cross-validate

    Compare supplier claims with independent records and test identity, relationships, timelines, and operating signals for consistency.

  4. 04Conclude

    Reconcile conflicts, weigh source strength, and produce the most reliable conclusion the available evidence supports.

Source familyEvidence collectedWhat it helps determine
Global-facing sources
Global B2B Platforms
Evidence collected

Public storefronts, product focus, platform history, MOQ, badges, ratings, reviews, and response metrics.

What it helps determineDo product and market signals support the claim?

Tests product focus, selling history, and market-facing activity; storefront data remains supplier- or platform-displayed.

Global Social Media
Evidence collected

Public company profiles and activity across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, X, Reddit, and similar platforms.

What it helps determineIs the global-facing presence consistent?

Compares export-facing identity, content, and recency while separating official, employee, partner, and third-party accounts.

China-local sources
Chinese Social Media
Evidence collected

Public WeChat and China-native posts showing products, factory activity, exhibitions, hiring, projects, and recent updates.

What it helps determineWhat recent activity is visible in China?

Adds local, time-stamped signals and connects Chinese names and accounts; ownership and post authenticity are checked separately.

Public Procurement Records
Evidence collected

Public procurement notices, tender awards, project records, buyer names, products, locations, dates, and contract signals.

What it helps determineDoes public-sector activity support the operating claim?

Shows China-local delivery history and product or project relevance where public notices are available; absence is not evidence of no activity.

Chinese B2B Platforms
Evidence collected

Public storefronts, product focus, platform history, MOQ, badges, ratings, reviews, and response metrics.

What it helps determineDo product and market signals support the claim?

Tests product focus, selling history, and market-facing activity; storefront data remains supplier- or platform-displayed.

Customs & Trade Records
Evidence collected

Shipment dates, shippers, buyers, products or HS codes, routes, quantities, and destination markets.

What it helps determineIs there recorded trade activity?

Tests claimed export experience, products, buyers, and destinations within provider coverage—not total exports or future performance.

Official Company Registries
Evidence collected

Legal name, registration ID, establishment date, address, business scope, representative, and operating status.

What it helps determineWho is the legal entity?

Anchors every later finding to the correct company and exposes mismatches in names, identifiers, addresses, or transaction roles.

Legal & Enforcement Records
Evidence collected

Business anomalies, penalties, serious violations, court matters, enforcement, restrictions, bankruptcy, and equity freezes.

What it helps determineWhich public risks require attention?

Places records in context by entity, role, date, and status; incomplete coverage or no record is never treated as no risk.

Recruitment Platforms
Evidence collected

Public hiring for export sales, production, quality, engineering, and operations, including location and timing.

What it helps determineWhich operating functions appear active?

Role mix, location, and timing can support manufacturing, quality, engineering, or export functions, but not headcount or capacity.

Coverage is reported, not assumed. A source may be found, access-limited, unavailable, not found, or outside scope. “Not found” never becomes “does not exist.”
