Shortlist a winner with the checks the product actually runs
A short checklist tied to Radar, Sonar, HOT, supplier match, and Shopify draft import — not an invented secret score.

Only checks that exist on the product
This is not a 14-point secret audit. Each line maps to something WHAT Shipping? already shows. If a row is empty, treat it as unknown — not as a pass.
The checklist
1. Best-seller position and ▲/▼ versus yesterday — Radar. Radar ranks today's winning products with position moves, HOT multi-store badges, and niche filters — rankings refresh daily at midnight UTC; tile data every 60 minutes. 2. Earlier climb — Sonar (Free: first 12 positions). 3. HOT — same product on 2+ independent stores with a top-10 rank on at least one. 4. Traffic and sales bands on the product and its stores — bands only. 5. Public ads as a clue, not as the starting point. 6. A potential AliExpress match you can actually buy. 7. A Shopify draft you have opened and priced. Skip any product that fails 6 or 7 — you cannot sell air.
What this checklist is not
It is not a compliance score, a winner score you can type into a calculator, or a promise the SKU will keep climbing. The daily Radar position is the ranking the product already computes. Do not invent a second number on top of it.

Common questions
- How many checks do you run?
- We do not publish a check-count. Use the features above. A made-up 200+ figure would be inflation.
- Do I need every box ticked?
- You need a product you can source and list. Rank plus HOT plus a supplier is a strong shortlist. Ads are optional clues.
- Can I get a PDF score?
- No public scorecard. Open the product page, walk the list, import the draft.
