Opportunity Score
A decision-making framework that converts seven weighted signal groups into a single verdict — engineered to answer 'should I invest in this product?' in under sixty seconds.
The operator's cockpit — capital, timing, difficulty, and channel — extracted from the composite so the recommendation is actionable, not academic.
Model certainty across the seven weighted signal groups.
Downside exposure from margin, returns, and category volatility.
Operational lift to launch, differentiate, and defend the listing.
Working capital for inventory, creative, and first-90-day media.
Estimated weeks from launch to positive contribution margin.
Highest-ROAS acquisition surface based on demand fingerprint.
Every point is earned — here's the framework
Seven weighted signal groups add up to a 100-point composite. Each category is graded against transparent contributing factors — no hidden weights, no black-box scoring.
The single largest lever. Measures real, monetizable demand across search, marketplaces, and social intent over the trailing 90 days.
- Google & Amazon search volume
- Marketplace sell-through velocity
- Social & UGC intent signals
- Seasonality-adjusted baseline
How crowded the arena is. Fewer entrenched sellers and less ad saturation earns more points.
- Seller & listing density
- Ad saturation on primary channel
- Price-compression pressure
- Review moat of top 10 SKUs
Net contribution after COGS, fulfillment, platform fees, ad spend, and returns — the money you actually keep.
- Landed unit cost vs. retail
- Platform & payment fees
- Blended CAC assumption
- Return-rate drag
The runway to build a defensible brand rather than a one-off SKU — repeat purchase, LTV, and differentiation headroom.
- Repeat-purchase behavior
- Category storytelling ceiling
- Differentiation surface area
- LTV : CAC headroom
Direction and slope of category demand — expansion earns points, plateaus are neutral, decline is penalized.
- 12-month trend slope
- Category expansion vs. contraction
- Emerging sub-segment lift
- Cyclicality risk
Physical execution risk — weight, fragility, dimensional shipping cost, customs friction, and hazmat exposure.
- Dim-weight & oversize penalties
- Fragility & damage rate
- Customs / hazmat exposure
- Supplier lead-time variance
Structural exposure — IP, regulatory, platform, and single-supplier concentration risk.
- IP & trademark conflicts
- Regulatory / compliance surface
- Platform policy exposure
- Supplier concentration
Your recommendation will appear here
Once a Conatus Report is generated, this verdict reads like a briefing note from an analyst — a clear recommendation, the three signals that drove it, the counter-case considered, and the exact conditions under which the call would change. No hedging, no filler.
AI Verdict
An analyst-grade briefing that explains itself — the recommendation, the strengths that earned it, the weaknesses that held it back, the risks to monitor, and the exact next action to take.
Your two-to-four paragraph briefing will appear here — written like a note from an experienced buy-side analyst. It states the recommendation, the three signals that drove it, the counter-arguments considered, and the precise conditions under which the call would flip.
Your prescribed next step will appear here
Example when data lands: "Launch a small validation campaign — $300 test budget on Meta before committing inventory."
e.g. Growing search demand · Healthy margins · Low competition
e.g. Thin brand differentiation · High return category
e.g. Platform policy shifts · Single-supplier concentration
- 01Weight the seven signal groups
Each category is graded on a 0–100 raw scale, then multiplied by its published weight. Inverted categories (competition, fulfillment, business risk) invert before weighting.
- 02Cross-check the top three drivers
The three highest-contributing signals are re-verified against source data — no single signal can carry the verdict without corroboration from an independent group.
- 03Steel-man the counter-case
The model builds the strongest argument against the recommendation and estimates the score under that stress scenario. A narrow gap lowers confidence.
- 04Translate into a prescribed action
The final call is converted into one concrete next step sized to the operator's risk band — validation test, staged buy, or full launch.
