The documents we use internally, given away

No email gate, no drip campaign. If these help you run a better programme whether or not you ever work with us, that is a good outcome.

Built from the field, not the textbook

Every document in this section is the working version we use on programmes — checklists we tick off in the cutting room, spec guides we hand to the line, comparison pages we draw up for client reviews. None of it is marketing material with the serial numbers filed off.

  • Same format we use internally, lightly annotated for outside readers
  • PDFs, no email gate, no drip campaign
  • Tell us what to add — we update the list as new ones come out of the field

Also Useful

What to read before you shortlist a factory

Ask for the licence, not the showroom

A polished showroom tells you about marketing budget. A business licence and export record tell you whether they can actually ship.

Test before you trust the sample

A golden sample proves somebody can make one good unit. Third-party testing on production-representative units is what tells you about the run.

Price the landed cost, not the unit price

Freight, duty, testing, rework and returns are where programmes actually lose money. Optimise the total.

Want these applied to your product?

The checklists are useful on their own. They are more useful with a team that has run them a few hundred times.
