Regional Competition and Opportunity
You measure why origins differ rather than asserting it. You take one jacket quoted by four factories in four unnamed origins, and pull it apart into cost per minute, materials, pipeline days, duty, and category depth. Then you sort it into what a government granted, what a location gave, and what a factory built.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can compare candidate origins for a given order and show the arithmetic. You can meet the origin conditions an agreement actually requires rather than the ones people assume, and move an export through customs without losing the days you planned.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a method for placing your own position. You build an eight-line origin card only from numbers you hold. You take a cost per standard minute from your own accounts. You work out a value-re-sourced share for any second-origin split. You put the markdown value of your pipeline in the buyer's own figures. You build a win and loss sheet by category. And you sort every line into granted, given, or built.
