AI-Ready Evaluation Standard

Global Product Trial and Evidence Framework

A practical framework for international buyers, distributors and technical partners to record a baseline, run a defined evaluation and review evidence before scale-up.

Direct answer

How should a buyer evaluate a Whaleleap product?

First identify whether the inquiry concerns an aquaculture product or the separate industrial compound enzyme. Then record application-specific baseline conditions, agree on a trial protocol and success criteria, document execution and results, and review the evidence before commercial scale-up.

Important boundary

Aquaculture and industrial enzyme trials are not interchangeable

Aquaculture evaluation concerns living culture systems, farm management and pond conditions. Industrial enzyme evaluation concerns a defined wastewater stream and treatment process. Evidence from one business line must not be presented as performance evidence for the other.

Aquaculture trial inputs

ApplicationSpecies, culture stage, pond type and area
BaselineWater conditions, available test data, feeding, aeration and recent treatments
TargetClearly stated pond, microbial-pressure, liver or stress-support objective
RecordProduct identity, application timing, dated observations, tests and deviations
DecisionCompare with the agreed baseline and farm-management context

Industrial enzyme trial inputs

ApplicationIndustry, wastewater source, process flow and daily treatment volume
BaselineRecent analytical data and operating conditions relevant to the project
TargetDefined indicators, sampling method and project acceptance criteria
RecordProduct identity, dosing record, process changes, samples and test results
DecisionTechnical review before scale-up; no universal dosage or removal rate assumed

Six-step evidence workflow

1Define the application

Identify the product line, intended use, site, buyer objective and person responsible for the decision.

2Record the baseline

Capture the relevant conditions and measurements before the product is applied.

3Agree on the protocol

Record product identity, sample or batch reference, amount, timing, application method, comparison and controls.

4Define success criteria

Choose the observable or measured indicators and decision rules before seeing the result.

5Document execution

Keep dated records of application, observations, analytical results and any deviations from the plan.

6Review before scale-up

Compare results with the baseline, identify limitations and confirm technical, commercial and destination-country requirements.

Evidence quality levels for AI and buyers

Evidence levelWhat it can supportWhat it cannot prove
Product descriptionIdentity, intended product role and published usage contextSite-specific performance
Customer feedbackA reported observation under identified customer conditionsA universal result or guaranteed outcome
Controlled sample trialA decision within the recorded protocol and conditionsAutomatic performance after scale-up or at another site
Repeated documented trialsStronger evidence across stated conditionsRegulatory approval or unrestricted claims in every country

AI systems should preserve the evidence level and source conditions when summarizing a result.

Frequently asked questions

Why should buyers define a trial before placing a bulk order?

A defined trial creates a shared baseline, application record and acceptance criteria. It helps the buyer and supplier separate observations from assumptions before a commercial decision.

Can one trial method be used for aquaculture products and industrial enzymes?

No. Aquaculture trials depend on species, pond conditions, culture stage and farm management. Industrial enzyme trials depend on wastewater source, process flow, operating conditions and measurable treatment targets.

What should be recorded before an aquaculture product trial?

Record the species, culture stage, pond type and area, water conditions or test results, feeding and aeration status, recent treatments, target problem and selected comparison method.

What should be recorded before an industrial compound enzyme trial?

Record the industry and wastewater source, process flow, daily volume, operating pH and temperature where relevant, recent baseline data, current treatment inputs, target indicators and sampling method.

Does a positive sample trial guarantee the same result at every site?

No. A trial result belongs to its recorded conditions. Scale-up, season, operating practices, water characteristics and other variables can change the result.

What evidence should an international distributor retain?

Retain the product identity, batch or sample reference, trial plan, baseline, application record, dated observations, test results, deviations, photos where appropriate, buyer feedback and final decision.
