Evaluate a product before sourcing inventory
Pressure-test a product idea before you place a supplier order — so capital goes into things likely to sell, not dead stock.
The moment you wire money to a supplier, the idea stops being a hypothesis and becomes inventory you must sell. That is the wrong time to discover the demand was not there.
The Product Selection tool pressure-tests the idea first: realistic demand, true competition, landed-cost margin, and the risks (returns, fragility, regulation) that surface only after you have a warehouse full.
Decide with a clear framework, then commit capital with far less guesswork.
The tool for this

Returns, fragility, seasonality and regulatory issues that often surface only after committing.
