● SWAP TYPE 02 — QUALITY

One spec. Verified once. Trusted by both sides.

Quality disputes are the single most common reason bilateral swaps fail. VerifyHub turns competing quality claims into a verified fact. That fact feeds straight into the escrow release conditions, before anyone argues about it.

The Problem

The same material, six different names

Specification naming differs across standards. The same aluminium alloy can appear under any of these names, depending on the system your counterparty uses. Industrial labs still exchange results as PDFs with no standard API. That is why quality disputes are the most common reason swaps collapse.

How VerifyHub Handles It

From competing claims to a verified fact

01

Specification matching

Resolves material names across competing naming systems against a structured material reference set. Designed for a lookup in under a second.

02

Lab routing

Work orders route to accredited third-party labs matched to the material category.

LABS: ACCREDITED THIRD-PARTY ONLY
03

Result normalisation

VerifyHub ingests results from many lab systems and normalises them into one standard verdict, whatever the source format.

04

Quality verdict issued

A pass/fail verdict, plus a volume adjustment factor for any quality differential, feeds directly into the escrow release conditions.

The Fee Model

A percentage of contract value, paid at settlement

A quality swap costs a percentage of the contract value. Each party pays it on its own leg. A minimum fee applies to each party. You pay nothing before settlement. There is no subscription and no fee for posting an intent.
