An OEM or ODM feasibility response is a decision aid, not an approval to buy tooling. When a buyer proposes an exterior or structural change, the useful question is which part of the request the supplier has actually evaluated, under which drawing and assumptions. Read the reply line by line before authorizing another sample or a priced development stage.
Reopen the original request and its revision
Put the sent brief beside the supplier’s response. Identify the registered product or reference format, requested change, drawing or artwork version, destination market and intended decision. Mark each supplier comment against one request item. If the reply uses a different version, ask whether the change was deliberate before treating its answer as applying to the current project.
The AIRITU OEM/ODM path is for work beyond placing a brand on an existing product format. That path invites a development brief and a feasibility review; it does not establish that a specific proposed geometry, material or feature is possible.
Classify what the response actually says
For each requested change, record one of three practical reading states: described as feasible subject to named conditions, needs further investigation or a sample, or not addressed. These labels help your team read the response; they do not replace AIRITU’s written decision on the proposal. Copy the supplier’s exact qualifier and the evidence it refers to. Avoid translating “can review” into “approved,” or treating silence as rejection.
A proposed alternative may solve a different problem from the original request. Keep the original requirement visible, note how the alternative differs, and ask which buyer decision it would change. If a new product structure affects fit, handling or packaging, request the relevant drawing or sample reference instead of assuming an existing sample validates it.
Separate technical unknowns from commercial terms
AIRITU offers exterior or product-structure OEM/ODM subject to feasibility review. Tooling or development costs are quoted separately where applicable. That offer does not mean this particular request has passed review or that a cost has been agreed.
Make two columns. The technical column holds the proposed feature, constraints, drawing revision and next evidence. The commercial column holds questions about tooling responsibility, development cost, quantity, payment and timing. Ask for the current quotation or written proposal to resolve the latter. The published planning range for structural development is not a guaranteed deadline; the final schedule belongs in the quotation or order approval.
Decide what should happen next
If the reply addresses the intended design but needs physical evidence, use the sample request path to describe the exact difference a revised sample must test. If scope or costs remain unclear, request an itemized clarification before commissioning work. If the response shows the project should return to an existing format, revise the brief rather than pretending the original development request was accepted.
Send the numbered open items through contact AIRITU with the relevant revision references. Preserve the supplier’s original answer and add the later clarification as a new record. A buyer can then decide whether to proceed, change direction or stop, without treating a feasibility conversation as an order commitment.
