Supply-chain intelligence whose incentives align with the buyer's. We publish what supplier-paid platforms structurally cannot: negative assessments, honest cost benchmarks, supplier risk.
Aaron Zhang, VP Operations, Class III implant company, 10+ years in medtech supply chain. You come with a specific problem. You leave with a concrete answer, not a recommendation to read more. Most sessions lead to a Sprint or Atlas.
A 4-week engagement to build or repair your supplier network for a specific device or component category. Deliverables include a qualified shortlist, evaluated dossiers, RFQ package, and cost benchmarks, plus 2–3 OpenSpec entries and OpenCost data points contributed to the open knowledge layer.
An 8-part intelligence toolkit per China supplier category: shortlist, comparison matrix, supplier dossiers, cost benchmarks, operating playbooks, communication guide, watch layer, and direct Aaron access. Refreshed as fieldwork compounds. Covers six launch categories: PTFE liner & hypotube, MIM & CNC for implantables, Class 7/8 cleanroom assembly, balloon forming, medical-grade injection molding, sheet metal & enclosures.
No agenda, no preparation required. Just a conversation. If you're working in medical device and want to talk about supply chain, sourcing, manufacturing, or what you're building, book a slot.
Two slots available each week. Open to anyone in the medical device industry. If you have a specific problem you need solved, the paid 1:1 is the right format. That's where Aaron comes prepared with your materials in hand. This is for everything else.
