- You get
- The full buyer-meeting pack
Opens in Fashion mode, brief filled in. Standard plan and above.
The job, before and after
Without it
The buyer's interest stops at the document you do not have, and it does not come back next season.
With McLeuker AI
Turn up to a stockist meeting with the documents a buyer expects.
Every market appointment, every stockist conversation.
Why it is hard
A one-person label does every job a hundred-person brand does, on the same calendar, with the same buyers asking for the same documents. The gap is capacity, not talent.

The full buyer-meeting pack
Open an example: Technical Pack - ARQ-SS27-011 Meridian TrenchIn depth · Cost and price
What it costs by the time it reaches you.
The components in the order they hit, including the three that get left off a first sheet: sampling rounds, freight and duty.
- Materials
- Shell, lining, interlining, at the minimum you can actually buy
- Trims
- Hardware, labels, thread - the lines that get estimated and never checked
- Make
- Cut, make, trim at the factory's real minimum, not the quoted one
- Sampling
- Every round before the one that gets approved
- Freight
- Mode, incoterm and who is carrying the risk at each leg
- Duty
- The HS code and the origin, which is where a costing is usually wrong
- Waste
- Yield loss between the marker and the cut
The components and their order, not a split. Knitwear, leather goods and jersey do not share a cost shape - yours is computed from your own spec and minimums.
What goes into landed cost, in the order the agent builds it from your own spec and minimums.

Reports
3 briefings written for independent designers.
Each one is the finished file, opened in full. Every figure in them is illustrative and each says so on its own cover; a real run researches and cites its numbers with an as-of year.
Start
Start the Collection-to-Buyer Agent.
Its brief opens in the composer. Fill in the [brackets] and send.
Fashion mode, on the Standard plan and above.
Next lane: Manufacturers & suppliers. Where the tech pack goes next: the factory quoting it.
Questions
Before you start.
What does it cost to start?
Signing up costs nothing. There is a Free plan and no card is needed: 300 welcome credits when you verify your email, 100 daily credits you can claim every 24 hours, and 3 questions a day in Instant and Thinking. The agents on the solution pages run in Fashion mode, which opens on the Standard plan and above. What each plan opens is on the pricing page.
How long does a run take?
It depends on the job. A studio run is minutes: a fashion collection takes about three minutes end to end, and a product campaign set about two minutes forty. An agent works through every step of its run and stops when the file is finished, so it takes longer; you can follow each step as it runs.
What do I need to bring?
A question or a brief is enough to start. Studios that work from your own material take it directly: a product photo, a store link or a description for a campaign; garments and a model or your own photo for try-on; a sketch, a reference or an existing spec for a tech pack. You can attach files to a message - one file of up to 10 MB on the Free plan, more on paid plans.
Can I edit the files afterwards?
Yes. Decks are PowerPoint with real text boxes, shapes and native charts; spreadsheets have typed cells and live formulas; Word documents keep their styles, headings and a table of contents that updates. Research reports come as an editable PDF or DOCX.
Is my data used to train models?
No. McLeuker AI does not use your content, your files or your connected-account data to train or fine-tune AI models, as the Privacy Policy and the Terms both state. Limited, aggregated and de-identified logs may be used to improve reliability and security.
Will a factory accept the tech pack?
It is written in the form a factory quotes from - bill of materials, points of measure and construction notes, as an editable file - and every value you still need to confirm is left visible rather than guessed. Whether a factory takes the order is still the factory's call.
What does it cost to arrive without the documents?
The interest. A buyer who asks for the line sheet, the costing or the tech pack and does not get it rarely asks again next season - which is why the agent builds all three from one set of style data.
