Loop 083
The viral product margin audit loop
A commerce research workflow that finds fresh product demand, verifies supplier costs, calculates margin, filters IP and MOQ risks, and stops with a validated candidate or no-go.
Ready-to-use prompt
Copy the loop
Identify high-margin product opportunities within the specified niche or market. If the niche is missing, ask and stop. Use only fresh demand signals from approved feeds, ad libraries, or social sources, then shortlist products with clear velocity. For each candidate, record the value proposition, retail price, supplier URLs, unit cost, minimum order quantity, shipping estimate, and IP or trademark risk. Calculate gross margin using the agreed acquisition buffer and reject candidates below the margin floor, above the investment cap, with unverifiable costs, or with immediate legal risk. Repeat up to the research-round cap and stop with a validated candidate, no-go result, blocked access, or approval need.
Verify / stop
The winning product has fresh demand evidence, supplier proof, margin math, and risk gates.
The final payload includes demand sources, supplier URLs, unit economics, margin calculation, rejected candidates with reasons, IP or trademark notes, validation plan, and the stopping reason.

Use this when
Use this when evaluating commerce product ideas and the decision depends on current demand, supplier economics, and risk filtering rather than intuition.
How to run it
- Ask for the target niche or market if it is not already specified.
- Find fresh demand signals from approved discovery sources and shortlist distinct candidate products.
- Verify supplier costs, shipping, minimum order quantity, retail price, and IP or trademark risk from primary sources.
- Calculate margins with the agreed buffer and reject candidates that fail margin, investment, evidence, or legal gates.
- Stop with a validated candidate, no-go result, blocked access, approval need, or exhausted research cap.
Why it works
Trending-product research is easy to fake with stale social proof or guessed supplier numbers; this loop forces fresh demand, primary cost evidence, and explicit risk gates.
Implementation note
Do not place orders, scrape against terms, contact suppliers, launch ads, use trademarks, or make financial commitments without explicit approval.
