Weekly Intelligence Memo

What you get every week

One email. Four pages of read. Nothing you need a webinar to understand.

Factory-district news that moves quotes. Which clusters are discounting, which are queueing, and what it does to your lead time.
Freight and rate shifts. Lanes, dates, and numbers, before they land in your next supplier quote.
Policy and tariff changes, translated. What changed, who it hits, and the one thing to do about it.
Risk alerts. The payment traps, quality drift, and scams moving through the market this week.
One buy-side action. What to lock, what to delay, what to re-quote. Every week, one decision made easier.

The free monthly digest

Sent once a month to the same list that got the 10 Landmines guide. No upsell theater.

Free digest, monthly

The five signals that mattered that month, one line each.
One thing to check in your own supply chain before the month ends.

Paid memo, weekly

Everything above, weekly and in full, with names, lanes, and numbers.
Risk alerts while they still help, not after the quarter closes.

Questions buyers actually ask

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Every Stripe receipt carries a manage-subscription link. One click, no exit fee, no email required. You keep access through the month you already paid for, then the charges stop.

How is it delivered?

By email from tonyma@flamingfield.com, one issue a week on the same weekday. No app, no login, no dashboard. Reply to any issue and it lands in Tony's inbox.

What if I miss a week?

Email Tony and he re-sends the issue. The free monthly digest also folds the month's key calls back in, so one missed week never becomes a blind spot.

A note from Tony: I have spent 30 years on factory floors and across the table from sellers. This memo is the read I give my own clients before they commit money, written from the buyer's side only. I take no commissions from factories or agents, so nobody's news gets softened. If a month of issues does not earn its $19, cancel. I would rather you stay because it is useful.
