Both reports below are real formats with client-identifying details removed. Nothing is behind an email gate — open them, read them, and decide whether the paid version is worth it.
Paid deliverables
Every report states what was checked, how it was checked, and what could not be verified — including the gaps in my own work.
Level 1 — platform screen, price and repeat-rate comparison, and the red flags I can see from the desk. That is what the free sample shows. The paid report adds Level 2: legal entity, real factory or trading company, capability and QC system for your product, and a clear recommendation — proceed, proceed with conditions, or avoid. Section 6 of the sample lists exactly what Level 2 covers.
What documents the supplier actually holds, mapped against what your target market requires, with the gap list and a document request list you can forward to the supplier as it is.
What these samples do not contain: the names behind the letters, or any judgement about the specific company you are considering. That is the part you pay for.
Free · no email required
Written for buyers who are about to send money to a Chinese supplier for the first time. Take them and use them — there is no form and no email gate.
The questions that actually change the outcome, with the answers that should worry you. Use it on a call with any supplier you are considering.
Why a clean-looking licence is not evidence that the company manufactures anything, and which fields on it are actually worth reading.
The commercial side in one page: what the 5–8% commission covers, why your goods money never passes through me, and what I do not do.
