Free checklist · Booth Buildability Checklist
More than thirty thousand companies exhibit at the Canton Fair, and almost every booth has a device that could become your first product. The skill is choosing well. Ask these six questions of any product you see at a booth or save online. Five or six yes answers mean a small company can build it and sell it.
The 6 questions
Answer yes or no to each one. The PDF adds what a yes looks like and the red flag for each, and a grid to score three products side by side.
What the score means
Worked example
The product Mohsin scores in our video. Five yes answers and one to measure.
| One job | Yes: it cleans glass |
|---|---|
| Proven | Yes: robots like it sell widely |
| Approved wireless part | Yes |
| Battery for a full session | To check: one we measure |
| Clear approval path | Yes |
| Simple claims | Yes: it is about convenience |
All six questions with what a yes looks like and the red flag, a grid to score three products, the score bands and the worked example.
FAQ
Ask six questions of every product you see: does it do one job well, is that job proven, is there an approved wireless part for the hard bit, does the battery last a full session, is the approval path clear, and are its claims simple. Five or six yes answers mean a small company can build it.
One proven job, ready-made approved parts for the hard bits, a battery that lasts, a clear certification path and simple claims. Each one keeps engineering, testing and launch costs small.
It can still work. It needs more engineering, more money or a narrower first version, and the score tells you that before you spend anything.
Yes. Everything is on this page with no email needed. You only enter an email if you want the PDF copy.
