European Tier-1 Supplier Qualifies Three Cell Plants in Six Days

A Tier-1 supplier needed to qualify alternative battery cell sources outside its incumbent vendor. We pre-screened nine plants, removed four that were trading intermediaries, and built a six-day route around the five remaining.

“What we could never have arranged ourselves is the depth of the conversations. We were not shown a showroom; we were shown the cost structure, and the plant director answered the awkward questions.”

US Growth Fund Stress-tests Nine Robotics Companies Before Term Sheet

The fund needed to separate real in-house capability from reseller stories in the robotics component space. We designed a uniform question set so answers across nine companies were directly comparable.

“They did not just open doors. They told us which doors were worth opening, which saved us roughly a month of wasted travel.”

Middle East Industry Association Delegation to Smart Manufacturing Clusters

A mixed delegation with widely different interests: some wanted to buy lines, some wanted to attract Chinese investment home. We split itineraries on two days so nobody sat through irrelevant plant walks.

“Running a 22-person delegation is mostly logistics. Running one where everyone actually gets value is judgment. They have the judgment.”

What clients say

“We were shown the cost structure, not a showroom. The plant director answered questions our own team had been unable to get answered for eight months.”

Head of Battery Sourcing Head of Battery Sourcing · European Tier-1 automotive supplier · Germany

“Four companies dropped out the moment we compared what they claimed with what we saw on the floor. That saving alone covered the whole programme several times over.”

Operating Partner Operating Partner · US growth equity fund · United States

“They told us which doors were worth opening. That judgment saved us about a month of travel.”
