Screening framework applied
Supplier screening follows the same four levels used across every Pathfinder engagement.
Typical timeline
Typically 3–8 weeks from confirmed requirement to shortlist.
Commercial model
Engagements may use a fixed advisory fee, milestone-based fee, success commission or a combination, depending on the agreed scope.
Limitations
Screening reviews information provided by the supplier alongside publicly available records. Final due diligence, inspection and contracting must be completed by the buyer and relevant professional advisors. Verification may include company details, certifications provided by the supplier, catalogue, production capability, export experience, and communication quality.
