One takeaway per marketplace, drawn from today's numbers.
India: History scores highest on our opportunity index — Amazon's own share of offers is low (1%) and the demand trend is positive.
1 market, one discipline: demand signals first, product-level verification second.
This free edition shows where the market moved. The next step is to validate seller concentration, offer pressure, Buy Box stability and promotion depth on the specific products you sell or plan to source — across every marketplace we track, every day. That is the layer members work in.
