The seven-point checklist
- The item belongs in the category I am browsing.
- Photos show the details that matter for this product type.
- Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible when needed.
- Price makes sense beside similar finds.
- Shipping weight does not ruin the value.
- The row has evidence beyond a catchy label.
- I can explain why I would save this find.
Score the row
Strong shortlist candidate
The row answers most practical questions and has a clear reason to stay.
Research more
Promising, but one or two meaningful gaps still need an answer.
Weak row
Too much of the comparison depends on guesswork.
Remove for now
The label or image is doing nearly all the work.
Write a decision record, not another bookmark
Reason to keep
Name the use case and the evidence that makes this row more useful than the closest alternative.
Unanswered question
Record one missing measurement, photo, source detail, or weight input that could still reverse the decision.
Next action and stop rule
State what to check next and the condition that will move the row to keep, pause, or remove.
QC photos should change by category
Footwear
Look for both sides, toe shape, heel, sole, interior label, and a measurement that helps with fit.
Clothing
Look for full front and back, seams, collar or hood, fabric close-up, print placement, and garment measurements.
Bags and accessories
Look for shape, hardware, strap attachment, lining, closure, scale, and dimensions.
Good row, weak row
The row answers its category questions
A hoodie row shows front, back, fabric, cuffs, size chart, garment measurements, source destination, and a stated weight range to confirm later.
The row relies on a headline
A “must-have hoodie” row has one image, no size detail, no fabric view, and an unexplained link. Popular wording does not fix missing evidence.
The one-sentence save rule
Save the row only if you can finish this sentence: “I am keeping this because the photos, measurements, source, and weight context make it easier to compare with the other options.”
What to do next
Open the relevant category, compare two or three similar rows, and record the first unanswered question. If an external page cannot answer it, remove the row rather than expanding the shortlist.
