Part Grading (A / B / C)

Part grading is a standardised rubric for describing the condition of a used part. Sustain360 ships a three-grade rubric — A for OnShelf-ready and visually perfect, B for serviceable with minor wear, C for usable but with visible defects — applied at two points in the workflow: by the inspector at vehicle intake on a component basis, and by the binning operator at the bin station for the individual part as removed. Consistency is the whole point. Two inspectors looking at the same headlight should reach the same grade, and a downstream buyer should see the same standard between yards in the same network. The platform provides reference imagery, structured prompts, and an audit trail of grading and regrading actions per operator. The valuation rules engine consumes the grade as a primary input — a B-grade headlight prices differently from an A-grade unit on the same vehicle, automatically, per market. Returns that disagree with the grade flow back into the audit trail and inform training.
