Working standards

Sourcing Standards

ORA begins with the buyer’s operating requirement and screens the secondary market for opportunities that may merit further evaluation. These standards describe how ORA handles information and the path toward a protected introduction.

Seller information

ORA distinguishes seller-provided statements from information independently confirmed through available records, direct communication, documentation, or buyer-authorized diligence. Seller identity and direct source details may remain protected until the applicable introduction or protection terms are accepted.

Opportunity screening

ORA compares apparent equipment fit, configuration, location, timing, commercial context, and material information gaps. A recommendation to investigate an opportunity is not a certification, appraisal, warranty, or representation that the equipment will satisfy the buyer’s requirements.

Condition and documentation

Condition, operating history, maintenance records, specifications, included tooling, ownership authority, and availability require opportunity-specific confirmation. ORA can organize seller information and flag gaps, but the buyer remains responsible for final review.

Inspection and diligence

ORA can help plan an inspection and coordinate access, questions, documentation, and follow-up. Buyers select their own inspectors or advisers and remain responsible for technical, financial, legal, regulatory, and commercial diligence.

Logistics and transaction decisions

Rigging, removal, freight, site access, power, timing, taxes, and installation considerations can materially affect an equipment transaction. ORA can clarify available information and relay nonbinding commercial positions. Buyer and seller make all final binding decisions and transact directly.
