Straight answers.
What each offer includes, what GO and PASS mean, and what we don't promise.
What's the difference between the offers?
Five levels, from free to full-service:
Complete Sample Report — free. One existing worked case, start to finish. Existing Case Report — $29 (3 for $69, 5 for $99): already-researched reports you can buy and read now. Custom Screen — $99: a fast public-source review of your product. Full Decision Report — $249: deeper evidence, suppliers, economics and an improvement plan. Supplier Validation — from $750: scoped outreach, quotations, documents and sample coordination. Prices are USD, before applicable taxes.
Is the free sample the same as a paid report?
No. The free sample is one complete existing case you can read to judge our format and depth. A paid report is either another already-researched case report or new research on your product. The free sample isn't free custom research.
What's in a Custom Screen vs a Full Decision Report?
The $99 Custom Screen covers one product, one country, one channel: public-source demand & competition, initial scenario economics, major risks, evidence gaps and the next test — no outreach or physical testing.
The $249 Full Decision Report adds deeper evidence, customer review themes, supplier screening, an economics model, product-improvement recommendations, a Design Change Request, a supplier-message kit and a next-test plan. Licensed Amazon data is used only where available and permitted.
What are the report packs?
Buy any three existing case reports for $69, or five for $99. Packs contain existing, already-researched reports only — you choose the distinct titles. They're not custom research.
What can I submit for custom research?
A product idea, a photo, an Amazon/marketplace link, or an Alibaba/supplier link — plus the country, channel and the decision you're trying to make. Any one starting point is enough.
What does GO mean? What does PASS mean?
GO — worth exploring further. The evidence supports a next step, often a sample or small pilot with named conditions. PASS — looks tempting, but not strong enough. On the current evidence this version doesn't justify inventory; the report explains what would need to change. A supported PASS is a valid outcome.
Is a GO a green light to order inventory?
No. A GO for a sample or a small pilot is not a GO for committing inventory. It recommends a limited, defined next step — and to confirm the open conditions first.
Do you guarantee a product will sell?
No. We reduce uncertainty with dated, sourced evidence, but we can't guarantee sales, margins, supplier performance or regulatory approval.
How long does it take?
We confirm timing with you when we confirm scope, rather than promise a fixed turnaround up front. Existing case reports are readable immediately once published.
What markets do you cover?
Currently the United States and Canada. Each report is scoped to one target country and one primary channel.
Do you contact suppliers?
A Full Decision Report includes a supplier-message kit for you to send. Actual outreach, comparable quotations, document collection and sample coordination are a separate engagement — Supplier Validation, from $750. Samples, testing, inspection, freight and goods cost extra.
Does a report include certifications or compliance?
Where relevant, you get a preliminary requirements and document roadmap for your product and market. It's a starting point — not a lab report, certification, customs ruling or legal clearance.
What happens after I order custom research?
We review your request, confirm the scope, and send a secure payment link before any work begins. After payment we prepare and deliver your report with a clear GO or PASS. Payment and delivery are separate, verified steps.
