The Nearshore Readiness Scorecard
A free, ten-question self-assessment for US manufacturers and brands wondering whether they're actually ready to start a Latin America sourcing search — not whether nearshoring works in general, but whether your operation is ready to try it right now.
It's built for the person who keeps hearing "nearshore" and has no honest way to tell if that's a real option or just noise. Score it yourself, then score it again with your ops lead in the room disagreeing with you — that's where it earns its keep.
What's in it
10 scored questions
Trigger, volume, product fit, spec maturity, lead-time sensitivity, decision authority, budget, timeline, switching tolerance, and in-country capacity — each scored 0, 1, or 2.
A scoring guide
Your total maps to one of four honest reads: Ready, Close, Early, or Not yet — each with what to actually do next.
Three override questions
Three answers that sink a project regardless of your total score, including the single most common reason a supplier transfer fails.
Ten minutes, on paper
A printable PDF you can fill out at your desk or hand to your team — no login, no software, no sales call required to use it.
This is a diagnostic, not a brochure. A low score is a legitimate, useful result — it tells you to fix your own house before you spend a dollar on a supplier search. Nobody scores this to be sold something.

Leave your email and I'll send the download link. No newsletter, no drip campaign — just the scorecard, and the option to reach out if it's useful to talk it through afterward.
Thinking about a move?
A 15-minute diagnostic call, no pitch: what you make, what you're paying, what broke. You'll get a straight answer on whether this is worth pursuing — including when it isn't.
