Sample deliverable · Buyer shortlist

Illustrative apparel supplier shortlist

This anonymized example shows the structure and level of judgment in a commissioned shortlist. The evidence patterns are adapted from the public directory, but the sample does not rank or market any named company.

Buyer requirement used for this example

Identify Georgian manufacturers that could support a private-label sock or workwear program for a Western buyer. The first screen favors visible factory evidence, product relevance, current certificate evidence and a workable path to commercial qualification.

CandidateWhat the evidence supportsFirst check
Supplier ANamed sock factory, equipment, production steps, stated multi-million-pair capacity and a current issuer record.MOQ, available line capacity, lead time and social-compliance evidence.
Supplier BCut-and-sew workwear plus in-house branding, corroborated by government-export and procurement records.Whether the requested garment is ordinary workwear or regulated PPE, then the applicable product evidence.
Supplier CBroad jersey and private-label offer, but no reviewed evidence of an owned production site.Factory control, exact address and operations performed in-house.

Recommended next step

Advance Supplier A to a commercial and capacity screen for socks. Advance Supplier B only if the requirement fits its documented workwear and branding scope. Hold Supplier C at the factory-control gate until the producing site and contractual role are documented.

What a commissioned version adds

A live engagement is scoped to the buyer's product, market, volume, timing and risk threshold. It includes current outreach and evidence gathered for that decision. Public directory records are the starting point, not the finished answer.
