Know Before You Wire.
You're about to send a deposit to a Chinese factory. For $497, I put your supplier, your quote, and your contract through the 7-Factor Factory Qualification System — from Shanghai, in Mandarin, before your money moves.
A Supplier Risk Diagnostic is a written risk verdict on your Chinese supplier — legal trading rights, ownership and capital structure, claimed vs. actual capacity, export history, and red flags — plus a price sanity check and your negotiation leverage points, delivered within 5 business days for $497.
What you get (5 business days)
- •A written risk verdict on your supplier: legal trading rights, ownership and capital structure, claimed vs. actual capacity, export history, red flags.
- •A price sanity check: your quote against real FOB market levels.
- •Your negotiation leverage points — what to push, what to concede, what to verify in person.
- •A 45-minute call with me to walk through the verdict and your next move.
Who this is for
Buyers about to place a first order, wire a deposit over $20,000, or switch suppliers. If that's you, this is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy.
The Guarantee
If the diagnostic doesn't surface at least one finding that materially changes how you proceed — a risk, a price gap, or a leverage point — I refund the full $497. No forms, no argument.
What I need from you
The supplier's name, your quote or proforma, the contract draft if you have one, and your communication thread. Everything you send is confidential and is never shared with any factory.
What if the factory checks out?
Then you wire with verified confidence instead of hope — and you'll know exactly which terms to lock before you do. A clean verdict is a result, not a refund case.

Why should I trust a Shanghai-based operator I found online?
You shouldn't — until you've read the verdict. That's what the guarantee is for. 25 years in industrial trade, on the ground here, with my name on every report. About / book / channel.
How fast?
Written verdict + call within 5 business days of receiving your documents.
Can you also negotiate for me afterward?
Yes — the diagnostic is the entry point to my ongoing buyer-side advisory. Most clients start here.
