The Ayubaba Standard
How Engineering Verification Works
Every product listed on Ayubaba undergoes the same rigorous process, carried out by a qualified electronics engineer — not an algorithm, not a tick-box exercise.
Step 1
Physical Engineering Assessment
Each product is assessed hands-on by a trained engineer using calibrated diagnostic tools. Condition, functionality, provenance, and safety. Nothing assumed from listed specs — every check is independently conducted.
- Condition grading against standardised criteria
- Functional testing of all key features
- Wi-Fi and connectivity verification
- IMEI check vs. National Stolen Property Database
- Physical safety and structural integrity
- Water damage indicator inspection
Step 2
Verification Record Generation
Assessment results are logged into the Ayubaba Verification System (EVS). A unique EVS ID is generated and a tamper-proof PDF Verification Record is created — including pass/fail/advisory results, engineer notes, and provenance documentation.
- Unique EVS ID assigned per product
- Provenance source documented
- Data wipe certification (BS EN 15713)
- Condition grade assigned
- Advisory notes recorded and disclosed
- PDF Verification Record generated
Step 3
Verified Listing
Only products that achieve a Verified Pass are listed for sale. The complete Verification Record is published on every product page — so you can see exactly what was assessed and what the results were, before you buy.
- Verified Pass required to list
- Full record on every product page
- Condition grade prominently displayed
- Advisory notes clearly disclosed
- Pricing reflects verified condition
- 30-day return guarantee
