A vendor's 'our crew on your street' photo reverse-matches a stock-photo library. How should procurement treat that result?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the 'crew on your street' picture also sells as generic stock, that is a red flag, not a timesheet. Reverse image just showed the photo is not evidence of local work. It does not prove they never worked—it proves this picture does not prove they did.
Full Explanation
A reverse-image hit on a stock library indicates the visual is generic marketing, which weakens a vendor's claim that the photo documents work on the city's street. That is a due-diligence flag for procurement, not affirmative proof of performance or of fraud by itself. Marketing images are in-scope public artifacts. Follow with other public records (permits, filings, news) rather than seizing cameras.
