- For
- Used-device refurbishers, marketplaces, and grading-system developers
- Worth noticing
- A device is recorded across eight axes; cracks, sub-80% battery health, or other failures get a status rather than a grade.
Field notes
The record is intended to serve several audiences at once: buyers see a grade name, wholesale users a code, and software a core code. The page links to an inspection protocol, JSON schema, golden examples, and a core-code decoder. Its current scope is Phone and Tablet; additional device profiles are presented as forthcoming, not as available coverage.
