Order, inspection and shipping coordination can be scoped after the plan is agreed. Availability depends on the product, supplier and route.

Product Hunting · from evidence to a buying brief

Research the opportunity.
Then research the supply.

Use consumer channels to understand the offer. Use business channels to investigate whether it can be sourced on workable terms.

01 / Demand, reviews & pricing

What would customers value?

Compare products, recurring review themes, variants and dated retail prices in your selling market. Ratings and rankings are signals to test, not verified sales volumes or a promise of profit.

  • Product gaps and customer expectations
  • Comparable offers, pack sizes and price ranges
  • A differentiation hypothesis and sample checklist
02 / Wholesale & manufacturer research

What would it take to supply?

Translate the concept into a specification. Compare company roles, minimum orders, samples, production capability and full landed cost before selecting a supply route.

  • Supplier identity, capability and manufacturing origin
  • MOQ, sample cost, customization and lead time
  • Evidence, destination eligibility and quoted terms
