China Supplier Review
Review a China supplier before tooling or production.
Already have a supplier, quotation, or introduction? We separate what the available evidence supports from what still needs to be checked—so your team can decide whether to request more information, approve a sample, commission an audit, or stop.
One defined component. One evidence record. One written next-gate recommendation.
Request a supplier reviewView a sample decision packWhen this assignment is useful
Useful when a quote looks promising but manufacturer identity, technical fit or the next approval step remains unclear.
What we review
We compare the named seller and manufacturer, stated specifications, quotation assumptions and available qualification evidence against the decision you need to make.
Example evidence gap
Illustrative example — not client work: the quotation names a seller but no manufacturing entity. The finding is “manufacturer not established,” followed by a request for the factory identity and supporting evidence—not a claim that the seller is a factory.
What you receive
- Desktop evidence record distinguishing supported statements from open questions
- Technical and commercial red flags with clarification questions
- Written recommendation for the next decision gate
Inputs, timing and planning price
$500–$900
One supplier or quote · one defined component
Share a non-confidential summary first. For the agreed review, we may need the quote, seller details, relevant specifications and the evidence already available to your team.
Planning range in USD. We agree the final fee, inputs and timing in writing before work starts. Missing information or additional scope may change the assignment.
What this assignment does not establish
This desktop assignment excludes supplier outreach, on-site audit, samples and negotiation. Documents alone do not establish production capability, legal compliance or product acceptance.
Frequently asked questions
Can you prove that the supplier is a factory?
Only to the extent the available evidence supports that conclusion. Unresolved identity questions remain explicit; physical verification may require a separate assignment.
Is this an on-site factory audit?
No. It is a desktop review of supplied evidence. We identify where an audit or another specialist check would help.
Can we start before an NDA?
Start with a non-confidential summary. We can discuss confidentiality before exchanging sensitive project materials.
What documents should we provide?
A quotation, component requirements and the supplier evidence you already hold. We agree the required inputs before work starts.
What if the evidence is incomplete?
You receive a gap list and next-step recommendation. Missing evidence is not treated as confirmation.
