Sourcing cost analysis

That quotation has a number in it.
We tell you what it should be.

Send us the quote a Chinese supplier sent you. You get back an itemised cost model — material, tooling, labour, packaging, certification, freight — a set of comparable quotes on the same or equivalent product, the retail band it sells into, and the room you actually have to negotiate. Every figure carries the link we took it from, so you can check it yourself.

Fixed fee, per product

Priced by how much of the answer you need, not by how long we spend. One product per report; three products if you want to see a whole line at once.

What arrives in your inbox

A 10–15 page PDF report plus an editable cost model. Not a dashboard, not a login — a document you can forward to your partner or your buyer and defend line by line.

  • 01
    FOB cost band
    Material, processing, tooling amortisation, packaging, certification, freight to port. A range, not a single number, with the assumptions written next to it.
  • 02
    12 comparable quotes
    The same product or a genuine equivalent, taken from public sourcing listings, each with its product ID and a live link.
  • 03
    Retail price band
    What the product actually sells for in your target market, sampled from marketplace listings — so you can see the multiplier between factory cost and shelf price.
  • 04
    Negotiating room
    The gap between the quote and the modelled cost, and which line items move when you push. Where the supplier has genuine cost pressure, we say so.
  • 05
    Editable model
    An Excel file with the arithmetic exposed. Change an assumption, watch the band move.

Three steps

No platform to sign up to, no demo call. The bottleneck in this service is the analysis, so we keep everything else out of the way.

Send the quote

Email the PDF, or paste the numbers. Include quantity, target market and anything you already know about the supplier. Fifteen minutes of your time.

We model it

We rebuild the cost from parts, pull comparables and retail data, and check the arithmetic against more than one source. If the data will not support a number, we say so instead of guessing.

You get the report

PDF plus Excel within the stated turnaround. One round of written questions included. If the report does not answer the question you asked, tell us and we fix it.

Scope, stated plainly

What this service is good at, and the things it will not do — because knowing the boundary up front saves both of us a wasted week.

We do

  • Consumer products with a public sourcing market: small appliances, pet electronics, cleaning devices, outdoor gear.
  • Quotes in the $10–200 FOB range, where a few percent is real money.
  • Say which figures are solid and which are estimates, line by line.
  • Decline the job, before you pay, if the category has no reliable public data.

We do not

  • Factory audits or supplier vetting — that needs someone on site, and we will not certify a company we have not visited.
  • Customs, legal or compliance advice.
  • Guaranteed savings. We show the room; you do the negotiating.
  • Bespoke engineering or product design.

Send us the quotation

Tell us the product, the quantity and the price you were quoted. We reply within one business day with a fixed quote and a delivery date — or with an honest no.
