Using the Product Database

The Product Database is your way into Amazon's catalog. Search by keyword, then narrow the results with filters so you are looking at products that fit the kind of listing you want to compete with — not the whole long tail. It is built for the early sift: cast a wide net, cut it down fast, then send the survivors to the Validator for a verdict.

Results come from real public Amazon product data (via Oxylabs, with the Selling Partner API backfilling identity and BSR), so what you see reflects live listings.

1. Open the Product Database from the sidebar and type a keyword — a product type ('collapsible dog bowl'), a niche ('home office'), or a problem ('cable organizer').
2. Run the search and let the results load. Each row shows the core numbers: price, BSR, review count, and rating.
3. Apply filters to tighten the field (see the next section).
4. Open any product to inspect it, or send it straight to the Validator for a GO / Watch / Skip verdict.

The filters let you describe the kind of product you can realistically win:

• Price — set a floor and ceiling. Higher price points leave more room for margin after fees; very low prices rarely do.
• BSR — lower numbers mean stronger, more proven sales. A wide BSR band keeps proven demand in view without only showing the giants.
• Reviews — a useful proxy for how entrenched competitors are. Low review counts can signal a less defended niche; very high counts signal an uphill climb.
• Rating — moderate ratings (not near-perfect) on a busy listing can mean an opening to compete on quality.

A common starting pattern: mid-range price, healthy BSR (proven demand), and not-too-crowded review counts. That combination tends to surface products with real sales where you still have a path in.

The Database tells you a product exists and roughly how it is doing. It does not tell you whether it is worth your money — that is the Validator's job, because only the Validator runs the fee and margin math against your cost. Workflow:

1. Shortlist the rows that pass your filters and look interesting.
2. Validate each one with your real product cost to get a verdict and Deal Score.
3. Add the GO and promising Watch products to your Watchlist or Pipeline to work them properly.
