Two ways to work with us, both scoped through your Mission Brief. Capacity deliberately limited to a few parallel mandates.
No supplier commissions
You pay for verification alone; deal execution runs through a separate, declared sourcing agreement.
Everything on quote
Each engagement is scoped individually from your Mission Brief. You invest in a decision, not in a package.
Field expenses at cost
Travel and on-site expenses are billed at cost, with receipts. No margin on logistics.
Field volume
From 3 field days
Extended missions go further: a reference mission covers up to 19 days and 4 trade fairs.
For a first verification before committing capital.
Field volume
Priority field windows, set per mandate
Monitoring runs continuously; field windows follow the trade fair calendar and your priorities.
For teams and funds that keep Asia on their radar, permanently.
We do not publish a price grid, but we can show you exactly what a quote is made of. Every proposal you receive breaks down along these four variables, line by line.
Your Mission Brief fixes the question: which decision, which product lines, which fairs or regions. A tight perimeter keeps field time where your answer actually lives.
The perimeter sets who goes: the size of the field team, the languages the mission requires, and the local coordination in Shenzhen that backs it throughout.
Perimeter and team translate into days on the ground, the main driver of any quote. One-off missions start from 3 field days.
Last, we agree on the form your decision needs: Mission Report, scored shortlist, intelligence notes, and the depth of documentation behind each.
The detailed weighting stays in-house. The structure does not: you will find these four lines in every quote we send.
Three engagements, drawn from the client profiles we serve. Identities and specifics are anonymized; the structure is real.
One-off mission
Volume From 3 field days
Ongoing advisory
Volume Retainer · field windows per mandate
One-off mission, extended
Volume Extended mission · reference: 19 days, 4 fairs
An anonymized example, line by line. We show volumes, never amounts: the figures belong in your quote, not on a public page.
Because two missions with the same title rarely cover the same perimeter. A price grid would tell you little about your case; the four variables above tell you a lot. Each engagement is quoted individually from your Mission Brief, and the quote itself is itemized along the structure shown here.
Mission Brief scoping
The framing document, validated together before any field day is planned.
Field days
Fairs, factory visits, face-to-face qualification on the ground.
Local coordination · Shenzhen
Permanent local coordination backing the mission throughout.
Deliverables
Documented Mission Report and scored shortlist, audit-ready.
Field expenses
Travel and on-site costs, billed with receipts.
Ongoing advisory follows the same logic, scoped at mandate level rather than mission level.
A clear perimeter, a counted number of days, a deliverable built to be challenged. The rest is set together, in the Mission Brief.
Every engagement is scoped individually, on quote, from your Mission Brief. No supplier commissions: deal execution runs through a separate, declared sourcing agreement. Field expenses at cost, with receipts. Subject to mandate acceptance.
