Manufacturing partners may have different: * Product strengths * Machine configurations * Production capacities * Compliance profiles * Certification scopes * Customer approvals * Quality systems * Order-size preferences * Technical capabilities * Delivery availability The network model enables project-specific allocation. It does not mean that: * Every factory can manufacture every product * Every factory holds every certification * Every factory accepts every MOQ * Every capability is available at all times * Mirthuni owns every manufacturing facility * One factory is automatically used for all buyers Factory identity and detailed documentation may be shared according to: * Project stage * Confidentiality * Buyer due diligence * Audit requirements * Commercial agreements * Factory consent * Applicable policies --- ## 20.
