Build a sourcing brief

Answer a few questions about what you need. The builder writes a brief with the questions a careful buyer asks, in your words, ready to send to any supplier or to the farm behind this site.

The brief builder needs JavaScript to assemble the brief in your browser. Without it, the buying guide lists the same questions for you to copy by hand.

Three fields are required. Everything else is optional and sharpens the questions. The builder does not ask for your name, company or contact details; the brief is yours to send.
