Official SendCutSend Source Map

Use these sources as live evidence, not as a stable API. Field coverage, value types, and N/A usage can vary. Before making pass/fail claims, cite the exact source URL and, for JSON facts, the field path used.

Core Entry Points

• Ordering guide: https://cdn.sendcutsend.com/specs/sendcutsend-ordering-guide.md
• Catalog JSON: https://cdn.sendcutsend.com/specs/sendcutsend-catalog.json
• Engineering specs JSON: https://cdn.sendcutsend.com/specs/sendcutsend-specs.json

Fetch these URLs directly before each review. Use the current response bodies as the evidence for material/service checks, and cite the URL plus the access date in the report.

Source Roles

• Ordering guide: use for ordering flow, accepted file formats, plain-language design rules, and general service explanations.
• Catalog JSON: use for orderability facts such as material SKUs, material names, thicknesses, stock status, cutting process, min/max part size, available services, hardware items, and finish options.
• Engineering specs JSON: use for SKU-keyed design validation facts such as tolerances, minimum hole/bridge/edge values, bending parameters, tapping, countersinking, hardware insertion, dimple forming, finishing constraints, and material properties.

Provenance To Capture

• Source URL
• Access date
• JSON _meta.schema_version
• JSON _meta.generated_at
• JSON _meta.source_data_generated_at when present
• Field path for row-level citations, such as sendcutsend-specs.json materials[sku=ALU-063].cutting_specs.min_hole_size

Conflict Handling

Prefer exact SKU joins across catalog and specs. If source facts conflict or a field is missing, unparsable, or N/A, report the uncertainty and mark the dependent row ❓ need more info unless another more specific, cited source resolves it.

Use this precedence for source facts:

1. material/thickness/service-specific configurator or current quote/upload result
2. exact SKU entry in engineering specs JSON
3. exact SKU entry in catalog JSON
4. ordering guide
5. broader official SendCutSend human-readable page, only when the three source files are insufficient

Record the conflict and the page you relied on.
