Gauges that show their inputs
Nine working calculators and matrices. Every one of them states where its parameters came from, how many observations sit behind them, and when they were last read.
Each gauge is a pure calculation rather than a quote. Freight bands, duty rates, return rates and measured size ranges are recorded from published terms and from outcomes buyers reported, and any of them can be overwritten in the interface when you have a better figure in front of you.
Two of the nine exist only here. The photo scorecard applies the reading sequence rather than averaging scores, and it returns no verdict at all when the photographs supplied fall below the evidence level a step requires. The landed-cost waterfall separates eight cost lines, including a quantity-tier adjustment and a returns reserve, and carries a check date against each one.
A gauge whose parameters have passed their review window says so, and treats the figures as placeholders rather than issuing a verdict from them. That is deliberate: a stale duty band is more dangerous than a missing one, because it looks like an answer.
- Photo scorecardTurns per-part criteria into one verdict, and returns no verdict at all when the evidence is below the level a step requires.26 Sep 2026
- Landed-cost waterfallSeven segments from the listing price to the amount that leaves your account, including the quantity tier and a returns reserve.26 Sep 2026

- Return costThree dispositions side by side — send it back, keep it for a partial refund, or write it off.26 Sep 2026
- Size bridgeMaps a tag size onto the measured band buyers reported, then compares it with a garment that already fits you.26 Sep 2026
- Cover decisionTwo tests side by side: the expected value on recorded rates, and whether a total loss would hurt.26 Sep 2026
- Resale marginBreak-even price, unit margin and the three cost lines that move the result most.26 Sep 2026
- Recorded code checkA static check of three fields only: threshold, category scope and validity window. No countdowns, no remaining quantities.26 Sep 2026
- Carrier matrixRegion by carrier tiers, with the freight and transit bands behind each cell — and a label where there is no sample.26 Sep 2026
