Eight questions
before exposure.
Every serious opportunity should answer the same core questions before DAM commits capital, reputation or logistics capacity.
01 / ORIGIN
Who can actually supply?
02 / SPECIFICATION
What exactly is being offered?
03 / QUALITY
How is it tested and accepted?
04 / TRADE
What is the real commercial basis?
05 / ROUTE
How does the cargo move?
06 / BUYER
Who can accept it and why?
07 / RISK
What can break the transaction?
08 / EDGE
Where does information create spread?
