China Supplier Risk Intelligence
Campaign success without
manufacturing readiness
is a public failure.
Most Kickstarter projects fail not because nobody wanted the product — but because the factory couldn't deliver it. Verify your manufacturer before your campaign goes live.

The more you raise,
the bigger the public failure.
Success without manufacturing readiness isn't a milestone. It's a liability that scales with every backer you acquire.
Raised. Never delivered.
Massive campaign success. Factory couldn't scale from prototype to production. 60,000 backers waiting.
Raised. Shut down.
Production costs and manufacturing failures wiped out the entire campaign fund and then some.
The only time you can change factories without catastrophe.
After your campaign funds, the factory is locked in. The window to verify — and change if needed — is now.
Your ability to course-correct shrinks to zero when you need it most.

What factories say. What we investigate.
"8-week lead time, no problem."
Actual assumptions: current order load, material procurement, revision cycles, Chinese holidays. We deliver a realistic delivery probability.
"Our samples match production quality."
Samples use best workers & materials. Production uses average economics. We document the gap before you commit.
"We can handle your volume, no problem."
Current order load via Mandarin call. Available slots vs. claimed capacity. Actual availability confirmed, not assumed.
"Everything is in-house, we don't outsource."
We ask directly what gets outsourced. Genuine manufacturers list it. Trading companies don't know. Subcontracting practices confirmed.
Find. Verify. Investigate. Verdict.
