01
Share operating context
Store, market, product, order pattern, parcel, current method, and constraint.
Output
A clear list of missing facts, risks, and the first decision to make.
How it works
From first context to operating control.
A useful recommendation begins with the product, market, parcel, order pattern, and service expectation—not a generic rate card.
Decision information
What we need before recommending a route or workflow.
These inputs determine sourcing feasibility, packaging, chargeable weight, route options, delivery expectations, and exception handling.
| Decision factor | What to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Store and market | Platform, store URL, destination countries, launch date | Defines integrations, constraints, and pilot scope. |
| Product profile | Category, SKU sample, material, restricted attributes | Determines checks, handling, and route eligibility. |
| Order pattern | Daily range, SKU count, seasonality, pain point | Shapes inventory, support, and fulfillment workflow. |
| Parcel and packaging | Weight, dimensions, included items, requirements | Affects chargeable weight, risk, presentation, and cost. |
| Service expectation | Delivery window, tracking, returns, support | Clarifies cost, speed, visibility, and recovery trade-offs. |
Operating path
Four stages from context to control.
