Confirm the racks are where they said.

An independent inspector attends the installation site, records what is there, and delivers a timestamped report under NDA. The only verification step that happens after shipment.

Every diligence process ends at the loading dock.

The buyer attested to an end use and a location. The paperwork was reviewed. The hardware shipped. After that, nobody looks.

Diversion happens after that. In a case charged in October 2026, prosecutors allege that more than $300 million of GPU servers left California with Malaysia and Singapore as the declared destinations and went on to China; one cited order was 27 H100 servers shipped to Kuala Lumpur. The seller's file says the diligence was done. It does not say the hardware stayed.

Installation verification closes that gap with an observation: on this date, at this address, these serial numbers were racked and powered. Documented by someone with no commercial interest in the answer.

Scope, coordinate, inspect, report.

Step 1

Scope.

You give us the shipping manifest with serial numbers, the buyer's stated installation address, and the timing window. We confirm feasibility and quote.

Step 2

Coordination with the site.

We arrange access with the facility operator directly, under a mutual NDA. The operator deals with an independent inspector, not with their supplier's commercial team. Operators tend to prefer this.

Where ClearEndUse also vetted the buyer, access is already agreed before the hardware ships. The buyer consented to inspection in the signed purchase-order declaration, and the operator agreed to accommodate a visit in its own statement. Without those two clauses, a site visit depends on goodwill.

Step 3

Inspection.

The inspector attends the named facility on the agreed date and works through the on-site checks: the hardware, the site, its capacity, a photographic record, and who was present. See what is recorded ↓

Step 4

Report.

Delivered to you, and in a redacted form to the operator if agreed. The report describes what was observed, when, by whom, and how it reconciles to your records. Discrepancies are listed plainly.

Is it there, and does the site match the story.

A visit answers three questions a document cannot: is the hardware at the address, is the site what the buyer and the operator described, and could this site actually run this deployment.

On site

What an independent inspector establishes at the installation address.

Installation verification is a pilot program with limited capacity.

  • Is the hardware there.Racks present at the stated address, with serial numbers reconciled line by line against your manifest.
  • Does the site match the story.The building, hall and floor allocated to the end user, and the power allocated, compared with what the buyer and the operator told you.
  • Could this site run this deployment.Power feed, backup generation, cooling and network as observed, recorded by an inspector who knows what a GPU hall needs.
  • A photographic record.Incoming power, generators, the hall, the racks, power distribution and temperature readings, with timestamps.
  • Who we met.The identity and role of the site staff present, recorded in the report.

The inspector does not access, copy or retain configuration data, workloads or logs.

Every check appears in your report as an observation, the evidence behind it, and the date and time it was made. Discrepancies are listed plainly.

We are precise about what this report is.

It is an observation on a stated date at a named location by an independent inspector. It confirms what was present and reconciled at that time.

It is not a guarantee that the hardware will remain there, a statement about future use, or a legal opinion on the transaction.

That precision is what makes it useful. A report that overstates its own reach is worth less to you and to your counsel than one that states exactly what it saw.

Limited inspections while we build the network.

Installation verification is in pilot. We are taking a limited number of inspections over the coming months while we build out the inspector network. Pilot inspections are priced at cost plus travel.

In return, we ask for candid feedback on the report format and permission to describe the engagement, anonymized, to future clients.
