Channel Allocation Review

Put the next dollar and the next hour where they can do more.

Decide which inventory, dollar, and hour should move where using seller-owned evidence, true channel economics, and an explicit stop rule. This workspace does not list inventory, connect marketplace accounts, or claim profit when costs are incomplete.

Review setup

Define the decision before comparing numbers.

Channel evidence

Compare inventory segments, not fee percentages.

Enter aggregate values from reconciled seller reports for the same inventory segment and time window. Unknown costs remain unknown, not zero.

Evidence readiness Limited

Add reconciled channel totals and cost completeness to strengthen the comparison.

Interpretation guardrail Revenue, net proceeds, contribution, cash recovery, and true profit are different measures. ShopClarity shows contribution only when COGS is complete and never treats marketplace-reported advertising revenue as incremental revenue. Sold units divided by active units is a directional activity signal, not sell-through.

Effective-dated channel economics

Record the rules and burdens that change the allocation decision.

Use observed seller costs where available. Keep official platform facts separate from seller reports, community observations, and inference.

Allocation decisions

Keep the review small enough to act on.

Record no more than five decisions. Each one needs evidence, confidence, and a condition that could change it.

Next-dollar recommendation Next-hour recommendation

Controlled channel experiment

Test one consequential assumption.

One intervention, a defined cohort or baseline, and a stop rule. An unsuccessful test is still useful evidence.

Inventory segment Question Cohort or baseline Single intervention Measure and deadline Stop or continue rule

A valid conclusion is “do not add another marketplace.” Test only an inventory-specific hypothesis. Etsy requires qualifying vintage; StockX Listings and specialist channels are conditional destinations; Whatnot may be live or listing-based.
