Turkey versus Italy is several decisions in one
This is a public educational page, not a customer case and not a recommendation to site a plant. The useful work is naming criteria before a country becomes a brand preference.
What is actually being decided
Unit economics, quality system, lead time, minimum order, logistics, country-of-origin effects, and whether the supplier can hold a process. 'Italy' and 'Turkey' are not scores.
Evidence that matters
Quotes you can audit, defect history, export documentation, and concentration risk. A travel impression is an opinion.
How Argumont would run it
Treat each country-plus-supplier pair as an option. Freeze weights. Mark origin claims as claims. Do not publish a winner here as if we had your SKU.
