Thresholds are only the starting point
Little Giant recognition is not decided by a single threshold. Company materials normally need to show specialization in a defined niche market, stable operating performance, innovation capability, product quality, management capability and industry-chain value.
The database is useful because it shows recognized companies by batch, region and industry. Comparing peers helps identify whether a company is merely near a formal threshold or whether it has stronger evidence than prior recognized companies in the same field.
Evidence usually matters more than slogans
Useful evidence includes audited financial figures, main product revenue, patent ownership, R&D personnel or investment, certification records, customer and application scenarios, market-share explanation and the company's position in a key industrial chain.
Materials should stay consistent across application forms, financial statements, patent lists, product descriptions and industry-chain explanations. Inconsistent figures are one of the most common review risks.
