Product Planning & PRD

Turn your product idea into a clear, factory-ready requirement document — so every quotation, prototype, and engineering decision starts from the same page.

Fixed fee — from US$3,500. Typical duration 2–4 weeks.

Who This Service Is For

Founders with an idea

You have a validated concept but no formal spec — and factories keep asking questions you can’t answer yet.

Teams moving to China

You already build elsewhere and need your requirements restated the way Chinese factories and ODMs expect.

Products stuck in quoting

Quotes come back wildly different because every factory is guessing at a different product.

  2. Requirement drafting

    We translate the concept into features, specifications, and measurable acceptance criteria factories can quote against.

Frequently Asked Questions

I only have a rough idea. Is that enough to start?

Yes. The planning process is designed to turn a rough concept into a concrete specification — the less defined your idea is, the more value this stage adds.

Can you work with our existing spec or PRD?

Absolutely. We review and strengthen existing documents, close the gaps factories will ask about, and restructure them for China manufacturing.

Do we need this if we already have an engineering team?

Many clients do. Your team covers design and engineering; we make sure the requirements are complete from a China manufacturing and sourcing perspective.

How long does a PRD engagement take?

Most complete in two to four weeks, depending on product complexity and how quickly decisions can be made on your side.
