Inspection evidence comparison

Bronze Evidence Object Comparison Builder

Choose an evidence object and an order decision to see whether they match. The builder separates material identity, process history, measured geometry, and acceptance authority so one document is not asked to prove everything.

First-article report	Named characteristics on the identified sample and revision	Automatic acceptance of every later production unit	Feature list, method, state, sample identity, and approval hold
Batch report	Recorded results for the stated features, sample plan, and lot	Unmeasured features or unstated functional performance	Coverage, frequency, lot identity, method, and disposition
Process record	Completion of the named process under the stated scope	Unrelated dimensions, material identity, or service approval	Process specification, revision, provider, certificate, and acceptance
