TANDOR pricing — free during pre-launch

TANDOR introduces buyers to producers of EU-organic botanicals, and publishes the free TANDOR Intelligence briefing. Both are free during the pre-launch phase. If commercial terms are introduced later, they are agreed in writing before any paid engagement.

Introductions to producers

Per-deal sourcing engagement: written brief → multi-supplier comparison → sample dispatch coordination → direct introduction to the supplier (the supplier sends the COA directly). Pre-launch free; post-launch commercial terms publish at formal launch.

TANDOR Intelligence (free)

Source-cited sourcing briefings on Romanian and other EU botanicals. Free Substack subscription — chemistry, regulatory framework, harvest windows, debunked marketing myths. No paywall, no upsell.

Pricing FAQ

What does TANDOR charge today?

Nothing. Introductions and the TANDOR Intelligence newsletter are free during the pre-launch phase. Any future commercial terms are agreed in writing before any paid engagement.

When does the post-launch commercial model start?

No date is set. If commercial terms are introduced, they are published first and agreed in writing before any paid engagement; introductions already under way keep their free terms.

Do buyers pay anything?

No. During the pre-launch phase TANDOR is free for buyers and for suppliers — no subscription, no fee.

Is there a subscription or listing fee?

No subscription, no setup fee, no per-listing cost — neither for buyers nor for producers. The L3 TANDOR Intelligence newsletter is also free. Producers join the supplier network without listing fees during pre-launch.

Why a broker model and not a marketplace?

Marketplaces work at scale for categories where buyers can browse. EU-organic botanical sourcing is a niche where buyer specs need analytical-grade matching and supplier identity stays confidential until a deal is in motion. A broker model with written briefs + multi-supplier comparison + per-shipment COA is the procurement-grade workflow industrial buyers actually need.
