Landmarks first
The overlay is pinned to points that do not move — collar centre, shoulder seams, numeral edges. Gold pins on the demo mark them.

Not a grade. A map.
A Source Map is the intact parent garment, photographed before the cut under a grid locked to its own landmarks. Every child piece is placed on that grid, so anyone holding a Relic ID can see exactly which square they bought.

The grid protocol
The grid belongs to the garment, not the photo.
A crop, a re-shoot, or a resized listing image cannot move a zone. The grid is pinned to physical landmarks on the parent, so a coordinate means the same piece of cloth in every image of every record.
Lock before planning
The grid is fixed before the cut plan is drawn. Zones are named on a grid that already exists, never fitted afterwards.
Plain coordinates
Columns are letters left to right as photographed; rows are numbers top to bottom. C4 is one cell; E5–G7 is a block.
Front, back, inside
Each face of the parent — front, back, interior, tags — is captured under its own locked grid with a colour card and scale in frame.
Zones
Every planned piece has a zone, and a state.
A zone is the area of the parent a child piece will come from — a body panel, numeral, nameplate letter, patch, logo, sleeve stripe. Premium zones are disclosed in the cut plan before the blade touches fabric. No surprise logoman harvest.
IssuedCut, witnessed, and given a Relic ID. Resolves in the lookup.
PlannedPublished in the cut plan. Not cut yet.
UnissuedPlanned zone that produced no child ID. Stays visible on the map.
ReservedDeliberately not cut — tags, signatures, or areas the owner keeps whole.
Population is part of the map: the parent record lists how many children it produced and which zones were cut. See the demo parent’s population.
ID grade
Location-grade, or Parent-Only. We say which.
Placing a piece is a claim, so it has its own evidence bar. If two trained operators cannot independently place a child piece on the parent photo, SourceWorn does not issue a location-grade ID.
Location-grade ID
Two trained operators independently placed the child piece on the parent photo within tolerance.
- Record highlights the exact cell or block
- Zone coordinate printed on the record, e.g. C4
- Both placements kept in the custody log
Parent-Only ID
Cut from this garment, zone uncertain. We say so on the record.
- Record outlines the whole parent, dashed
- No zone coordinate is shown or implied
- Still inherits the parent’s certificates and classification
ID grade describes where the cloth sat. It says nothing about game use — that is the job of the classification standard.

Bring an intact, documented parent before it is cut. We capture, lock the grid, publish the cut plan, and return every child with an ID.
