WHY SCRIMTACK

Decisions labeled by evidence—not hidden behind sourcing language.

Written before production

Every engagement produces a written decision document before larger execution commitments.

Unknowns stay visible

Unconfirmed information remains labeled as assumption or unknown.

China-side execution

Supplier research, sampling pathways and execution questions are handled from Shenzhen.

Production is a separate decision

A validation Sprint does not obligate the client to order samples or production through ScrimTack.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Clear boundaries before you submit.

What do I need to send?+

Send one product link, sketch, specification, reference link or short product description, plus the decision you need to make.

Is this a factory sourcing service?+

The Sprint validates requirements, supplier pathways, commercial assumptions, sample needs and execution risks. Production sourcing or factory engagement is a separate written scope.

Does the USD 500 include samples?+

No. Sample fees, shipping, certification, third-party testing, tooling and production deposits are outside the Sprint price.

Will I receive factory contact details?+

Factory contact details are not a default deliverable. Any supplier disclosure depends on the confirmed paid scope and available evidence.

Can you validate my existing supplier?+

Yes, when the written scope identifies the documents, sample, quotation or process questions that can be reviewed.

Do I need to join a call?+

No. The intake and scope can be handled by written communication. Meetings are optional.

What happens after the Sprint?+

The written brief recommends proceed, revise or stop, and identifies the lowest-risk next action. Sampling, testing, sourcing and production remain separate decisions.

Which product categories are not currently accepted?+

Medical products, supplements, food and beverages, cosmetics, children’s safety products, batteries, highly regulated electronics and obvious third-party IP products are not currently accepted.
