How to use Webotee

1. STEP 01

   Find your first sourcing pick

   Open Sourcing → Top Picks. Webotee surfaces ASINs ranked by a composite Sourcing Score that combines Catalog Friction (1-100), Brand Control posture, current buybox owner, and recent price stability. Filter by category, BSR rank, or estimated margin to narrow to your specialty — the table updates in place. Each row is a candidate; click it to open the ASIN dossier.

   Open Top Sourcing Picks→

2. STEP 02

   Read the Sourcing Score

   On the ASIN dossier, the 5-dimension Sourcing Score breaks the composite down: Brand Control (how aggressively the brand polices unauthorized sellers), Buybox Stability (how often the buybox flips), Price Volatility (90-day spread), Seller Density (active third-party operators), and Velocity (how fast inventory moves). Green dimensions are favourable; amber means caution; red is a likely no-go. The single composite number tells you whether to dig deeper.

   Sample ASIN dossier→

3. STEP 03

   Check Brand Control + GATING risk

   Brand Control flags tell you whether the brand has a known history of issuing IP/MAP takedowns, gating their catalog, or sending cease-and-desists to unauthorized operators. The dossier surfaces this from public Amazon catalog signals plus Webotee's brand-evaluation cache. If a brand shows BRAND CONTROL = HIGH and GATING = LIKELY, expect hassle even if the margin looks good. Low/Low is the green light.

4. STEP 04

   Add the ASIN to your watchlist

   Click WATCH ASIN to bookmark the listing. The watchlist is a personal saved-list — every tier including free Scout can watch unlimited ASINs (it's a bookmark, not brand protection). Returning later, you'll see the score deltas: what changed since you watched it. A score that drifts from 78 → 65 in a week tells you the asset is heating up; a score moving 78 → 84 means the friction came down and it's a better pick than when you first found it.

   Open your watchlist→

5. STEP 05

   Enable alerts on shortlisted ASINs

   From the ASIN dossier, configure alerts on price movements, buybox-owner changes, and sourcing-score deltas. Alerts route to your inbox and (for Scout+Protect) to webhook integrations. Set a price-drop alert at 15% below today's spot and Webotee notifies you the moment that condition lands — you don't need to check the dossier daily.

   Real-time alerts→

1. STEP 01

   Add your brand to the watchlist

   From your workspace, click ADD BRAND and search for your brand name. Webotee matches against the canonical brand index across the US Amazon catalog and surfaces variants (alternate spellings, capitalizations, sub-brands). Confirm the match and the brand snaps into your watchlist. Your dashboard now tracks every ASIN attributed to that brand plus every operator that has held buybox or appeared as an offer.

   Open your workspace→

2. STEP 02

   Read the brand dossier

   Open the brand to see the dossier: HEAT INDEX (composite competitive pressure 0–100), WINNER DIVERSITY (HHI of buybox concentration — high diversity = many operators sharing buybox), AMZ % (Amazon Retail share of buybox-days), and the AI EVAL paragraph. Together these tell you in 30 seconds whether your brand is well-controlled, contested, or being actively hijacked. Headline metrics use the trailing 30 days; the Historical Footprint chart below shows trajectory.

   Sample brand dossier→

3. STEP 03

   Operators tab — who is selling your brand

   Switch to the OPERATIONS tab. Every third-party seller that has held buybox on any of your ASINs across the full tracked history is listed: their merchant ID, total buybox days, distinct ASIN count, FBA share, and recency. Sort by RECENT BUYBOX DAYS to see who is active right now. Drill into any operator to see their cross-brand reach — most aggressive hijackers sell across many brands, so cross-reach is a quick signal. Authorized resellers usually show concentrated activity on a single brand.

4. STEP 04

   Buybox Churn — spot instability and hijackers

   The Buybox Churn panel ranks your ASINs by how frequently the buybox flips. A stable ASIN flips < 5 times per month; a contested ASIN flips dozens of times. High-churn ASINs are where margin leaks happen — operators race each other down on price to hold buybox. Buybox churn paired with low Winner Diversity (one operator dominating) often indicates a single hijacker; high churn with high diversity is a price war among many sellers. Both warrant intervention.

5. STEP 05

   MAP floor + violations

   Open MAP FLOORS. Set a per-ASIN minimum advertised price for any product where you enforce MAP. Webotee compares every observed offer against the floor and surfaces violations on the MAP VIOLATIONS feed — operator name, observed price, depth below floor, timestamp. Push the floor file as a CSV upload or wire it via the Webotee API for sub-second sync. Web-Wide MAP Check extends the same enforcement to non-Amazon channels (eBay, Walmart, brand-name third-party stores) for Scout+Protect tier customers.

   MAP Floors→

6. STEP 06

   Configure real-time alerts

   From the brand dossier, configure REAL-TIME ALERTS for: new unauthorized seller appearing on any of your ASINs, MAP violation breach, buybox flip on a watched ASIN, sudden price drop. Alerts route to email + (Scout+Protect) webhook integrations + Slack. The alert payload includes operator merchant ID, ASIN, price, and timestamp — enough for your enforcement team to issue a takedown notice or update your authorized-seller list within minutes of detection.

   Real-time alerts→

1. STEP 01

   Search for a brand to vet

   Wholesale and online-arbitrage resellers vet 20–50 brands per week — most won't pencil out, but the few that do need to be identified fast. Use the unified search box (top of every page) to type a brand name. Webotee returns the brand match plus suggested ASINs and operators in under a second. The brand dossier loads with the headline metrics already computed: HEAT (competitive pressure), Winner Diversity (HHI), AMZ % (Amazon Retail pressure), and the AI evaluation paragraph. Three numbers + one paragraph is enough to make the first cut.

   Open the workspace→

2. STEP 02

   Triangulate Heat × Diversity × AMZ %

   The wholesale-vetting decision is a triangle: high HEAT means heavy competition (margin pressure), high Winner Diversity means buybox is shared across many operators (you can win a slice but not dominate), and high AMZ % means Amazon Retail already has the majority of sales (your retail cushion is thin). The sweet spot for wholesale: moderate HEAT (40–60), moderate Diversity (30–60), low AMZ % (<25%). For OA: any combination as long as the SOURCING SCORE on individual ASINs is green and Brand Control is moderate-or-lower.

   Sample brand dossier→

3. STEP 03

   Cross-reference Sourcing Picks for the brand

   Open SOURCING → TOP PICKS and filter by the brand. The picks table surfaces the specific ASINs within that brand worth your attention — sorted by composite Sourcing Score. A brand with strong dossier metrics but no green ASINs in Sourcing Picks usually means the line is too saturated for new entrants; look elsewhere. A brand with a handful of high-score ASINs is a candidate for a wholesale opening order or an OA test buy.

   Top Sourcing Picks→

4. STEP 04

   Build a sourcing watchlist + brand watchlist

   Two-tier watchlist: the ASIN watchlist tracks individual products you might buy; the BRAND WATCHLIST tracks brands you might pursue at the wholesale level. Adding a brand to the brand watchlist enables weekly digest emails — what changed in the brand's HEAT trajectory, who entered/exited the buybox, which ASINs trended up in score. The brand watchlist is the wholesale pipeline; the ASIN watchlist is the OA shopping list.

   Watchlist→

5. STEP 05

   Track score deltas over time

   Webotee snapshots brand and ASIN scores nightly. Returning to your watchlist shows the deltas: a brand's HEAT moved 45 → 58 in three weeks, an ASIN's Sourcing Score climbed 67 → 79 after a price reset. Deltas matter more than absolute numbers — a brand whose Diversity is dropping (consolidating to fewer operators) is shifting power; a brand whose AMZ % is climbing is being absorbed by Amazon Retail. The historical trend chart on each brand dossier visualizes 12 months of trajectory.

1. STEP 01

   Start with the operator network graph

   On the workspace home, the Connected Brands graph visualizes the cross-brand operator network for the seed brand. Nodes are brands; edges are the count of shared operators. A target brand with many edges to well-controlled brands suggests an established operator pool; a target with few edges or only edges to thin/scammy brands is a yellow flag. Click any node to drill into that brand's ego graph. The graph is the fastest way to see the operator ecosystem context that pure financials hide.

   Open the workspace graph→

2. STEP 02

   Read the 12-month HEAT trajectory

   Every brand dossier renders a Historical Footprint chart with WINNER DIVERSITY (left axis 0–100) and AVG PRICE (right axis $) over the trailing 12 months. Diversity climbing means buybox is fragmenting (more competition, margin pressure); diversity falling means consolidation (one operator dominating, possibly a sign of brand authorization tightening or a single hijacker monopolizing). Read the slope, not just the level. Avg price drift correlates with brand-side discounting, MAP enforcement events, or seasonal restocks.

   Sample brand dossier→

3. STEP 03

   AMZ % — Amazon Retail pressure

   AMZ % (share of buybox-days won by Amazon Retail) tells you whether Amazon is the dominant seller. A target with rising AMZ % is being absorbed — Amazon is preferring direct sourcing, which compresses 3P operator margin and changes the brand's distribution leverage. A target with stable or falling AMZ % retains 3P sales channel power. For PE diligence on Amazon-native brands, AMZ % trajectory is one of the highest-signal indicators for terminal value assumptions.

4. STEP 04

   AI verdict + composite brand health

   The AI EVALUATION block on each brand dossier reads the live metrics and renders a plain-English verdict — sourcing potential, brand integrity, operator landscape, and any anomalies. It's a Haiku-class summarization grounded in the data Webotee has on the brand, not a generic LLM hallucination. The verdict is a hypothesis to test, not a buy/sell signal — but it surfaces patterns a human analyst would otherwise need to dig for. Use it to direct deeper diligence, not replace it.

5. STEP 05

   Cross-marketplace and cross-brand operator map

   For PE evaluating an entire portfolio or roll-up thesis: the OPERATORS dashboard cross-references operators across all tracked brands. Identify operators with high cross-brand reach — these are the consolidators or hijackers, and their behavior on adjacent brands is signal for the target. For agency / market-research engagements: the cross-marketplace operator map covers US Amazon, UK Amazon, and US Walmart, surfacing operators that play multiple marketplaces (often the most professionalized players).

   Operator discovery→

6. STEP 06

   Export and integrate

   Scout+Protect tier exposes the underlying data via API + scheduled CSV/Parquet exports. For diligence work this means: pull a brand's full operator history, MAP violation timeline, and price snapshots into your own model in seconds. Enterprise contracts cover full historical pulls (price + buybox), audit-trail exports, and analyst-facing dashboards. Contact us via the Help Center to scope an enterprise engagement.

   Talk to us→

1. STEP 01

   What the brand graph shows

   Open the Graph page from your workspace sidebar. The operator graph maps every brand whose sellers have ALSO sold your seed brand — an ego graph with your brand in the center, surrounded by up to 30 connected brands. Two brands are connected when they share sellers — operators who list products from both brands. More shared sellers = thicker edge = stronger overlap. This is the fastest way to see who competes in the same seller ecosystem as any brand on Amazon.

   Open the workspace graph→

2. STEP 02

   When to use it

   Use the brand graph when you want to answer: what other brands share the same seller pool as a brand I care about? If you're sourcing, the graph reveals adjacent brands that the same operators carry — likely similar approval requirements and margin profiles. If you're a brand owner, the graph shows which other brands your unauthorized sellers also operate on (useful for coalition enforcement). For PE diligence, it surfaces the competitive ecosystem that pure financial data hides.

3. STEP 03

   Drill into any node

   Click any brand node in the graph — that brand becomes the new focus, and the graph redraws around it. The breadcrumb trail at the top tracks your path (e.g. Nike > Brooks > Hoka) so you can navigate back. Each drill takes 1-2 seconds. Use this to explore two or three hops out from a seed brand and discover brands you didn't know shared the same operator network.

4. STEP 04

   Read the visual cues

   Node size = relative activity (buybox days). Node color shifts from green to red as gating risk increases — green brands are easier for new sellers to enter, red brands are locked down. Hover any node for a summary card showing sourcing score, velocity trend, seller count, and the AI evaluation snippet. Edge thickness = shared-seller count between two brands.

5. STEP 05

   Operator network graph

   The Operator Network works the same way but centered on a seller instead of a brand. Search for a seller name and the graph shows their brand portfolio radiating out, with sibling sellers (other operators who share brands with your focus seller) as connected nodes. This is how brand owners spot hijacker networks — if seller X sells your brand plus five other contested brands, the graph reveals that pattern instantly.

   Operator discovery→

1. STEP 01

   Add it from the Chrome Web Store

   Click 'Add Webotee Scout to Chrome' above (or search 'Webotee Scout' in the Chrome Web Store), then confirm 'Add extension.' The Webotee icon appears in your toolbar. Works in Chrome and Chromium browsers (Brave, Arc, Edge).

2. STEP 02

   Sign in with your Webotee account

   Open the widget and sign in with the same email you use for Webotee. It reads your plan, so your tier (free or paid) decides how much it shows — no separate setup, no API keys. No account yet? Create one free at app.webotee.com/signup; the extension then works with your plan.

3. STEP 03

   Browse Amazon — the widget appears automatically

   Navigate to any Amazon product detail page. A small Webotee widget overlays the page showing four decision-grade scores (0-100): Sourcing Score (is this product worth your time?), Velocity (will it actually sell?), Gating Risk (will Amazon let you sell it?), and Entry Friction (how easy is it to win the buybox?). Green = go, amber = investigate, red = pass. You don't need to search or navigate away from Amazon — the intelligence comes to you.

4. STEP 04

   Read the brand and seller context chips

   Below the four score bars, the widget shows context chips: how many sellers are already on this brand, buybox diversity (is the buybox shared or locked up?), FBA share (do you need FBA to compete?), Amazon pressure (is Amazon itself dominating this brand?), and the current buybox seller's portfolio size. Each chip has a hover tooltip explaining what it means in plain seller language.

5. STEP 05

   Open the AI evaluation panel

   Click the 'Open AI Eval in panel' button on the widget. The Chrome side panel opens with a full brand-direct analysis: brand posture (does this brand fight third-party sellers or welcome them?), Walmart cross-marketplace match (same product available on Walmart for arbitrage?), and a narrative summary grounded in Webotee's data. This is the deep-dive you read when the score says 'maybe' and you need the full story.

6. STEP 06

   The sourcing workflow on Amazon

   Browse Amazon category pages as you normally would. Glance at the widget on each product page — high velocity + low gating + 2-5 sellers = strong arbitrage entry candidate. Skip anything with gating risk above 60 unless you have existing brand approval. When you find a keeper, click Add to Watchlist from the widget to save the ASIN (free tier: 5 ASINs, Scout Pro: unlimited). Return to your Webotee workspace later to see score deltas and set alerts on your watchlisted ASINs.

Webotee Scout is live in the Chrome Web Store — install it in one click.

1. STEP 01

   Open Brand Universe + Easy Entry preset

   Brand Universe is the full-catalog filter view — every tracked brand on Amazon with live metrics you can sort, filter, and slice. Start with the Easy Entry preset (pre-configured for low gating risk, moderate seller count, healthy velocity) to narrow the catalog to brands that match a sourcing operator's profile. Adjust any filter column to match your specific criteria.

   Open Brand Universe→

2. STEP 02

   Tighten the filter to your operator profile

   Dial in the filters that matter for your business: category, HEAT range, seller count ceiling, AMZ percentage cap, FBA share floor, velocity minimum. The table updates live as you adjust. When the results list looks like the kind of brands you'd actually pursue, you've got your filter.

3. STEP 03

   Click Save as Alert

   Hit "Save as Alert" at the top of the filtered view. Give the alert a name (e.g. "Kitchen ungated low-heat"). Webotee runs your exact filter against fresh nightly data and emails you the matching brands — with the top-3 sourcing-score ASINs per brand included in the email body. One filter saved = one daily email with candidates ready to evaluate.

   Alert rules→

4. STEP 04

   Read tomorrow's email + drill into top picks

   The daily digest lands in your inbox after the nightly data refresh (~06:00 UTC). Each row is a brand that matched your filter TODAY — with its headline metrics and the three highest-scoring ASINs inline. Click any brand or ASIN link to jump straight to the dossier. The email is the daily funnel; the dossier is where you make the call.

5. STEP 05

   Per-filter opt-out

   Each alert email includes a per-filter unsubscribe link at the bottom. Pausing one filter doesn't affect your other saved alerts. You can also manage all active alerts from the Alerts page in your workspace — toggle, edit filters, or delete.

1. STEP 01

   Cross-channel presence in the daily digest

   Each brand row in your daily alert digest shows where that brand's ASINs also appear outside Amazon — Walmart, eBay, brand DTC sites, and niche retailers. This is the outside-Amazon truth that pure Amazon tools miss. A product listed at three retailers below MAP is a different risk profile than one that's Amazon-only.

2. STEP 02

   Open the cross-channel detail view

   Click any ASIN row to see the full cross-channel breakdown: every observed retailer URL, the price at each, the date last seen, and whether the observed price violates your MAP floor (if set). The detail view links directly to the external listing so you can verify in real time.

   MAP Floors→

3. STEP 03

   Spot MAP violations (red highlights)

   Listings priced below your MAP floor are highlighted in red. The violation depth (how far below floor) is shown as both a dollar amount and a percentage. Webotee scans daily, so violations that appear and disappear within 24 hours are still captured in the historical log.

4. STEP 04

   Use MAP violations as leads

   For brand owners: MAP violations at non-Amazon retailers are channel-cleanup leads — identify the retailer, trace the supply chain, tighten distribution. For resellers: cross-channel MAP violations on brands you don't own are authorized-distribution arbitrage candidates — a brand that can't control its own pricing across channels has downstream margin for operators who play it right.

1. STEP 01

   Add from any ASIN, brand, or operator page

   Every ASIN dossier, brand dossier, and operator profile has a WATCH button. Click it to add that entity to your watchlist. Watchlists are personal — each user in a workspace manages their own. You can watch ASINs you're considering sourcing, brands you're monitoring for wholesale, or operators whose cross-brand activity you want to track.

   Open your watchlist→

2. STEP 02

   Free tier: 5 ASINs, Scout Pro: unlimited

   The free Scout tier lets you watch up to 5 ASINs — enough to test the workflow and validate a few leads. Scout Pro removes the cap entirely. Brand and operator watches are unlimited on all tiers. The watchlist is a working tool, not a feature gate — the limit is there to keep free-tier infrastructure costs bounded.

3. STEP 03

   Receive the Monday weekly digest

   Every Monday morning, Webotee sends a digest email covering everything that changed on your watched entities in the past 7 days: new sellers appeared, MAP violations flagged, buybox ownership shifted, sourcing scores moved, and updated sales estimates. The digest groups changes by entity so you can scan the headlines and drill into the ones that matter.

4. STEP 04

   Drill into watched changes

   Each line in the weekly digest links to the relevant dossier with the change highlighted. A watched brand that gained 3 new sellers last week? Click through to the Operators tab and see who showed up. A watched ASIN whose sourcing score dropped 12 points? The dossier shows which dimension drove the change. The digest is the alert; the dossier is the investigation.

1. STEP 01

   Open the Sellers tab on any brand page

   Every brand dossier has a Sellers tab that lists every third-party operator who has held buybox on that brand's ASINs. Each row shows the seller name, merchant ID, total buybox days, distinct ASIN count, FBA share, and last-seen date. This is the complete operator roster for the brand — not just who's winning today, but everyone who has competed.

   Sample brand dossier→

2. STEP 02

   Sort columns to surface the patterns you want

   Sort by buybox days to find the dominant operators. Sort by ASIN count to find sellers with broad coverage across the brand's catalog. Sort by FBA share to separate FBA operators (typically retail arbitrage or wholesale) from FBM operators (typically direct-from-manufacturer or relationship-based). The sort you choose depends on what you're looking for.

3. STEP 03

   Filter to FBM-only for wholesale-quality signal

   FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) sellers on a brand are often the ones with direct supplier relationships — they handle their own fulfillment because they have the infrastructure and the authorized distribution agreement. Filtering the Sellers tab to FBM-only surfaces these relationship-driven operators. If you're pursuing wholesale on a brand, these are the sellers whose presence signals an established distribution channel you might be able to access.

4. STEP 04

   Click any seller for full cross-brand footprint

   Click any seller row to open their operator profile. The profile shows every brand that seller operates on — their full cross-brand portfolio with buybox days, ASIN count, and FBA share per brand. An operator who sells 40+ brands is a diversified reseller; an operator on 2-3 brands is likely authorized or category-specialized. The footprint tells you what kind of operator you're looking at.

   Operator discovery→

5. STEP 05

   Use the operator graph as your supplier-quality shortcut

   The mini operator graph on the seller profile visualizes their brand portfolio as a network. Brands cluster by shared sellers — if this operator's brands are tightly clustered with other well-controlled brands, that's a quality signal. If their brands cluster with high-churn, low-control brands, that's a different profile entirely. This is the manual supplier-quality computation experienced wholesale operators do in spreadsheets — rendered as a graph you can read in seconds.

1. STEP 01

   Find a measured ASIN (badged) and read the 7-day median

   About 17 percent of products on Amazon display a public "bought in past month" badge — a number Amazon shows directly on the product page. Webotee reads this badge daily and shows the 7-day rolling median as the measured sales figure. When you see "measured" on an ASIN's sales estimate, that number comes directly from Amazon's own badge, not from a model.

2. STEP 02

   Find an estimated ASIN and read the confidence + range

   The other 83 percent of products don't have the badge. For these, Webotee estimates monthly units by calibrating BSR rank against the badged ASINs in the same leaf category — products with known sales in the same competitive bucket. Each estimate shows a confidence score (0-100) and a low-to-high range. We are not going to pretend this is 85 percent accurate — it's a per-leaf-calibrated estimate with explicit uncertainty bounds.

3. STEP 03

   Understand the per-leaf calibration

   The estimate model fits a BSR-to-units curve for each leaf category using the badged ASINs as anchors. A leaf category with 200 badged ASINs produces a tighter curve than one with 15. The confidence score reflects this directly — more anchors in the leaf = higher confidence = narrower range. Categories with sparse badge coverage get lower confidence scores and wider ranges. The model is honest about where it knows less.

4. STEP 04

   The display thresholds — when we hide the exact number

   When confidence is below 30, the ASIN dossier shows only a broad band (e.g. "100-500 units/mo") — the estimate is too uncertain for a point number to be useful. Between 30-49, the band is preferred but the point estimate is available on hover. At 50 and above, the exact estimate is shown directly. These thresholds exist because showing a precise number with low confidence misleads — a band is more honest than a fake-precise figure.

1. STEP 01

   Open the Profit Calc tab on any ASIN page

   Every ASIN dossier has a Profit Calc tab. It opens a calculator pre-filled with the current sale price from the latest observed offer and the estimated monthly units from the sales estimate (or the band midpoint when confidence is low). You bring your cost-of-goods; Webotee brings the fee structure.

   Sample ASIN dossier→

2. STEP 02

   Default sale price + units sold are pre-filled

   The calculator starts with the latest observed buybox price as the sale price and the estimated monthly units as the volume assumption. Both are editable — override the sale price if you plan to compete at a different point, or adjust units if you have independent volume data. The pre-fill is a starting position, not a constraint.

3. STEP 03

   Add your COGS, weight, dimensions

   Enter your cost-of-goods-sold (what you pay the supplier per unit), the product weight, and the package dimensions. The calculator uses weight and dims to compute FBA fulfillment fees — heavier and larger items cost more to fulfill. If you don't know the exact dims, Webotee pre-fills from the Amazon catalog listing when available.

4. STEP 04

   Read the fee breakdown

   The fee breakdown shows: referral fee (category-specific percentage, selectable via dropdown), FBA fulfillment fee (weight + dims), fuel and inflation surcharge (current April 2026 rates), and monthly storage cost. Each line is computed from current Amazon fee schedules. The total fee per unit and the resulting margin per unit are shown at the bottom.

5. STEP 05

   Toggle FBA vs FBM to compare

   Switch between FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) and FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) to see how the margin changes. FBA adds fulfillment + storage fees but typically wins the buybox more often; FBM eliminates those fees but requires your own logistics. The calculator adjusts the fee structure for each mode so you can compare the unit economics side by side.

6. STEP 06

   Email yourself the calculation

   Click "Email calculation" to send the full breakdown — ASIN, sale price, COGS, all fees, margin per unit, estimated monthly profit — to your inbox. Use it for your sourcing file, share it with a partner, or archive it for the record. The email includes a link back to the ASIN dossier so you can re-run the calculation later if inputs change.

1. STEP 01

   Open Brand Universe + Channel Cleanup preset

   The Channel Cleanup preset filters Brand Universe to brands with high seller pressure, observed off-Amazon MAP violations, and low FBA share — the combination that indicates margin leakage through unauthorized distribution channels. This is the brand-owner's enforcement funnel: brands losing revenue to unauthorized sellers across channels.

   Open Brand Universe→

2. STEP 02

   Read the enforcement signals per brand

   Each row shows the percentage of sellers that appear unauthorized (based on cross-brand operator patterns), the count of observed MAP violations across all channels in the past 30 days, and a cleanup priority score. High priority = large catalog, many violations, rising seller pressure. The priority score helps you triage — start with the brands where enforcement will recover the most margin.

3. STEP 03

   Drill into the operator network + evidence trail

   Click any brand row to see the full operator roster, the MAP violation timeline (date, retailer, price, depth below floor), and the cross-brand operator graph showing which sellers also appear on adjacent contested brands. The evidence trail is timestamped and sourced — each violation links to the observed listing. This is the data your enforcement team or legal counsel needs to issue takedown notices or update authorized-seller agreements.

4. STEP 04

   Export to CSV for legal/enforcement workflows

   Export the filtered brand list or any individual brand's violation timeline as a CSV. The export includes: ASIN, seller name, merchant ID, observed price, MAP floor, violation depth, retailer URL, date observed. Format it for your cease-and-desist template, feed it into your brand-protection platform, or hand it to your agency. Scout+Protect tier includes API access for automated pulls.

1. STEP 01

   Answer the short questionnaire

   Open Sourcing → Niche Finder. A handful of questions set your scope: a price band (where you want to sell), a category area, your competition appetite (crowded-but-proven vs quiet-and-open), whether you're building your own brand or reselling, and an optional "where shoppers are unhappy" toggle. No long form — it takes under a minute and you can re-run with different answers any time.

   Open Niche Finder→

2. STEP 02

   Read the ranked categories

   Webotee returns the top private-label-winnable categories from real data — the same engine behind the Ask-Webotee private-label assessment. It ranks categories by low Amazon Retail presence, seller fragmentation (no single operator owning the buybox), genuine 30-day demand, your chosen price band, and fulfillment headroom. The in-app tool gives you the full 10 results per run (5 runs a day on the free tier; more on paid); the free public version at webotee.com/amazon-niche-finder is a gated teaser of the same engine.

3. STEP 03

   Use the dissatisfaction gap (optional)

   Flip the "where shoppers are unhappy" toggle and Niche Finder weights the dissatisfaction gap: categories with real demand and enough reviews but a mediocre average rating — the signal that there's room for a better product. It's where existing offerings underdeliver, not just where it's quiet. Leave it off and you get the standard low-competition ranking.

4. STEP 04

   Read why each category fit — and the reality-check

   These are researched starting points for your own validation, not guarantees. Each card shows exactly why it fit — the demand, fragmentation, price-band, and rating signals that put it on the list — alongside a plain reality-check. A low average rating can be inherent to the product category (heavy, fragile, or hard to ship items often rate low for reasons you can't fix), not always an opening to improve on. Validate sourcing, margins, and demand yourself before you commit.

5. STEP 05

   Deep-link into each category's detail

   Every result card links straight into that category's detail page and trend graph — the same dossier the rest of Webotee uses. Click through to see the seller landscape, the demand trajectory, and the specific ASINs behind the ranking, so a promising card becomes a concrete shortlist you can actually source against.
