How they’re written

What each case study covers

Every case study follows the same eight-part structure so you can compare projects directly instead of guessing at what was left out.

• Client type — brand, retailer, or seller category.
• Industry and product — enough detail to place the project without exposing the client.
• Challenge — the specific problem the client walked in with.
• Solution — the sourcing strategy I proposed.
• Process — the actual sequence of factory work, inspections, and decisions.
• Result — measurable outcomes, both positive and negative.
• Related service — which of my services this project used.
• Related location — the manufacturing region where the work happened.

Why so few case studies?

Case studies take time — that’s the point

Every project I take on gets a case study only after the client has received their goods, sold through them, and had at least one reorder cycle. That takes 6–12 months minimum. What I refuse to publish are ‘case studies’ written before the outcome is knowable — which is most of what appears on sourcing agent websites.

If you’d like to see a case study on a project similar to yours before I have one publicly listed, mention that when you get in touch. I can share sanitised details of a matching engagement one-to-one.
