How it works

No black boxes. Here is exactly how every number on this site is produced and what it does not mean.

Scoring weights

The opportunity indicator is a weighted blend of the signals below. It is a directional indicator, not a prediction of revenue or profit.

  • Search-interest signal30%
  • Demand momentum (trend direction)25%
  • Competition level (inverted)20%
  • Estimated margin band15%
  • Return-risk and shipping friction (inverted)10%

Data labels

  • Verified — the figure is traceable to a cited public source listed on the product page.
  • Estimated — derived from public marketplace listings and typical supplier pricing bands. Directional only.
  • Needs verification — the signal is weak or conflicting. Treat it as a research lead, not a decision input.
  • Insufficient data — we would rather show nothing than invent a number.

Where AI is used

AI writes only interpretive content: plain-language summaries, marketing angles and content angles. It never generates trend scores, prices, margins, return rates or market figures. Every AI-written block is labelled “AI-generated interpretation” on the product page.

Sourcing rules

  • Only publicly accessible pages, official APIs and published reports are used.
  • No scraping behind logins, paywalls or anything a site's terms prohibit.
  • Data is refreshed on a weekly cadence, with each run logged in the admin panel.
  • Stale entries are flagged rather than silently kept.

Nothing on this site is financial advice. Always confirm supplier pricing, shipping cost, duties and local compliance before purchasing inventory.
