# Inspection workflow

1. **Sellers list their machine:** The inspection process begins when a seller lists a machine on our platform. Once the listing is created, our certified inspection team schedules a visit to evaluate the equipment on-site.
2. **Inspection and reporting:** Our team conducts a comprehensive inspection, using three types of inspection methods: visual, manual, and automated. These inspections cover all major components. The findings from each inspection are compiled into a detailed report.
3. **Rating system:** After the inspection, each component of the machine is graded on a 1 to 5-star scale based on its condition:
   1. **Needs attention:** Major wear or damage; requires immediate repair.
   2. **Fair:** Functional but worn; maintenance needed soon.
   3. **Good:** Operating as expected with minor wear.
   4. **Very Good:** Minimal cosmetic wear; functioning properly.
   5. **Excellent:** In like-new condition.
4. **Report upload:** The completed inspection report is uploaded to makana.com and made available for prospective buyers to review alongside the equipment listing.
