Risk Score Breakdown
Revenue proof needs deeper reconciliation and concentration checks.
Traffic or acquisition depends on channels that can move quickly.
Listing claims need direct platform access before pricing makes sense.
Ecommerce transfer has account, vendor, or platform handoff risk.
A single platform can materially change revenue after purchase.
Retention concern is moderate relative to the asset type.
Red Flags
- Core claims are not yet backed by direct, read-only source access.
- Traffic or demand may be recent, paid, or platform-driven rather than durable.
- Transfer path could break value if accounts, rights, or platform assets cannot move cleanly.
- Revenue depends heavily on a platform whose rules the buyer does not control.
- Missing proof: Chargeback and refund history.
- Missing proof: Supplier contract or reliability proof.
Missing Evidence
- Chargeback and refund history
- Supplier contract or reliability proof

Seller Questions
- Can you show contribution margin by SKU after shipping, refunds, and ad spend?
- What are the refund, chargeback, and supplier failure rates?
- Can the ad account and creative assets transfer cleanly?
- Which products depend on one supplier or one paid channel?
- What exactly happens during transfer, and which accounts cannot be transferred directly?
- Can you explain any month where revenue or traffic moved more than 20%?
