Find the factory. Verify the certificate.
Mills, factories, certifications, MOQs, landed cost and tariff scenarios - researched, not remembered.
Sourcing agents research and compare manufacturing partners against structured criteria - minimum order quantity, certification status, capability, landed cost and tariff exposure - and return the comparison as a working document.
Sourcing knowledge sits with three people and a spreadsheet. When a tariff line moves or a certificate lapses, nobody finds out until the order is placed.
Not advice. Working parts.

Material research
Consulting installs it. The platform runs it.
This capability has a counterpart on McLeuker AI, the agentic platform the same team built and operates. The engagement is how it arrives inside your operation, loaded with your brand context; the platform is where it runs afterwards.
Deploy. Thirty days onto McLeuker AI, then retained.
Your operation loaded onto agents that already know the fashion domain.
Diagnose
Where agents change the economics, and where they do not.
Design
Which agents, which tools, which data, which guardrails.
Deploy
Shipped into the operation with your context loaded.
Operate
Retained partnership, monthly sessions, continuous updates.
What buyers ask first.
Do you sell supplier data?
No. There is no supplier-data product here. This is research capability: agents that go and find the answer against your criteria and show their working, rather than a directory that is stale the day it ships.
How current is certification status?
Verified at the time of research, with change detection running against certificates you are relying on. A lapsed certificate surfaces before the order, which is the only moment it matters.
Can it model tariff exposure?
Yes, as scenarios per route rather than a single number. Landed cost that ignores tariff volatility is the number that gets a season wrong.
Does it replace our sourcing team?
It replaces the research week. Relationships, negotiation and the decision about who to trust are not research problems and do not move to an agent.
Rarely bought alone.
Deployment
Product & Production Agents
Tech packs, grading, trims, QC and the T&A - in the factory's language.
Frontier
AI Governance & Compliance
EU AI Act, content provenance and DPP-ready product data - as an architecture problem, not a policy document.
Deployment
Merchandising & Retail Ops
Assortment gaps, price architecture, competitive audits and sell-through - from live retail, not last quarter's export.
Start with the diagnostic.
Four weeks, fixed fee, and a ranked map of what is worth automating in your operation - including what is not.
