How to use it

Use this when you have three to five candidate products but have not decided whether to order samples or inventory. It combines price, cost, demand, competition, review pain points, and ad pressure in one screen.

  1. Enter target sale price and estimated product cost to check baseline gross margin.
  2. Score demand, competition, review pain clarity, and ad intensity from 1 to 10.
  3. Use the opportunity score to decide which products deserve sample validation.
  4. Cross-check the result with reviews, logistics cost, and ad cost before sourcing.

Checks before using

  • Samples come from the target marketplace and country
  • Negative reviews repeat the same problem
  • Volume, weight, and after-sales risk are manageable
  • Ad competition will not make testing too expensive

Calculation and evaluation basis

Gross margin = (price - product cost) / price. Screening score = demand*12 + review-pain*8 + margin percentage*0.7 - competition*7 - ad intensity*3, rounded and bounded to 0..100. These are site-authored subjective weights, not a validated market forecast. A zero price has no score.

These notes support a first-pass decision. Before buying software, scaling ads, shipping goods, or handling tax matters, verify against platform dashboards, service contracts, official pricing pages, and professional advice.

Limits and assumptions

  • Demand and competition are user assessments, not platform data
  • Gross margin excludes marketplace, fulfillment and ad costs
  • Scores are not market rankings or a sales forecast

Highlights

  • Quickly checks category potential
  • Combines margin, demand, competition, and review pain points
  • Good for shortlist and sample decisions
