## Video Guide

## Overview

Via the **invitation link**, your suppliers open the EUDR data request form in Polygon One. There they provide the requested EUDR compliance evidence for the requested articles — without their own user account.

<Info>
  Access is via a secure link from the invitation, without separate registration. The supplier can reopen the link while it remains valid to provide missing data or update their information.
</Info>

## Step-by-Step Guide

### 1. Access and Welcome

The supplier clicks the link in the email and sees the onboarding message with a personal welcome message.

### 4. Invite Sub-Suppliers (Optional)

* describe the **inbound article** (name, article number, HS code)
* enter the **supplier details** of the sub-supplier (company, email)
* optionally add a **personal message**
* the invitation is sent to the sub-supplier by email

### 5. Legal Compliance Questionnaire

<Steps>
  <Step title="FLEGT check (for wood products from VPA countries)">
    If applicable, a valid **FLEGT license** can be uploaded. If a valid license is present, the detailed questionnaire is skipped.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sustainability certification (optional)">
    The supplier can upload a certification (FSC, PEFC, ISCC, etc.). The AI automatically analyzes which compliance categories are covered.
  </Step>

    * Supply chain & risk assessment
    * Land use rights & ownership
    * Environmental & conservation laws
    * Forest law (for wood products)
    * Rights of third parties & indigenous communities
    * Labor & human rights

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm submission">
    The supplier reviews their answers and clicks **"Submit self-assessment"**. Unanswered questions and missing documents are shown as a warning.
  </Step>
</Steps>

After submission, the data is automatically analyzed by Polygon One:

* **satellite imagery evaluation** of the geo data for deforestation risks
* **AI document validation** of the uploaded evidence
* **compliance calculation** based on the questionnaire and evidence

  The supplier can reopen the link for a valid period to view the status of their submissions, provide missing data, or update information.
