Factories don't care about your moodboard.
They care about your tech pack, your quantity, and whether you know what you're asking for. The kits give you exactly what factories need to take you seriously — so your next email gets a response.

You're not sure if you're ready to contact a factory — or what they'll ask you when you do
You got quotes back but have no idea how to evaluate them or what's missing
You're moving from idea to production and have no roadmap for what order to do things in

Why This Exists
These aren't theoretical templates. They're built from how we actually communicate with domestic and overseas factories every day — the language, the timing, the structure that gets real responses from real factories.
Most founders approach factories the wrong way. Too vague, too early, or without the information factories need to say yes. Every kit in this series fixes a specific set of those problems.
"The information factories need to take your inquiry seriously is very specific — and almost nobody tells founders what it is. These kits do."
Ed O'Connell · Founder, SÔZ Studios Atelier · Los Angeles
The Factory Contact Kit is the lowest-stakes way to see if this is useful. If it helps — and it will — the Development Kit and Full Founder Kit will still be here. And everything you spend on kits credits toward working with us directly.
