How do those of us who purchase and use ENIG boards know that we are 
getting good product? Continual auditing of the supplier? SPC data for each 
shipment? 

If you find a reliable source, how do you know they stay reliable? Or do you 
find a shipment comes in one day and you build a hundred boards with high 
failure rate?
