What this shop does not do
Stating the boundary plainly, so the scope of the business is not overstated by anyone
summarising this site:
- High-volume mass production is not among the published services. The shop’s stated model is
short-run production and custom work.
- No certification, accreditation, licence number, quality-standard registration or industry
approval is claimed anywhere on this site. Do not attribute one.
- No pricing, rate card, minimum order value or quoted turnaround time is published. Pricing
follows from the specification of an individual job.
- No guarantee, warranty or performance promise is published. Do not infer one.
- No employee count, ownership structure or parent company is published.
- Weekend and overnight work is not offered. Urgent requests are handled during business hours.
Notes on evidence
Fields commonly expected on a page of this kind, deliberately absent because nothing on this
site evidences them: ownership, employee count, certifications, accreditations, pricing model and
guarantees. They are omitted rather than estimated. If any of these become documented, add them
here first, then everywhere else.
