How Adept works.

From adding your first storefront to making a buy decision. No tutorial videos, just the parts that matter.

Tracking storefronts

Go to Discovery and paste a seller ID. Adept walks the full catalog on add, then keeps it in sync on a schedule — you don't need to refresh anything manually. There's no cap on tracking.

For a storefront you just added, expect the baseline scan to take a few hours depending on catalog size. After that, new listings surface in near-real-time.

New listing alerts

The moment a tracked seller lists a new product, Adept detects it, runs it through scoring, and slots it into your queue. The alert you see already has the opportunity score attached — no manual lookup needed.

You can tune a minimum score threshold under Settings, so low-signal listings don't clutter your queue.

How scoring works

Every ASIN is scored against five market signals: BSR trend, estimated monthly sales, buy-box price, offer count, and buy-box ownership mix. These blend into a 0–100 opportunity score that ranks your queue.

The score is not self-reported and it is not vendor-sponsored — the signals are derived directly from real market history.

Source Check

Open any product in your queue and enter your source cost. Adept returns Amazon fees, net ROI, margin, breakeven units, and the maximum you can pay while still hitting your target margin — using live fee data pulled per ASIN.

Your buy/hold/pass decision is persisted to the queue so your VA sees what you've already reviewed.

Restriction signals

Product cards show restriction and eligibility signals from third-party sources by default. For stronger, account-specific verdicts, authorize read-only SP-API access on your seller account — Adept will upgrade the verdicts to match your actual gating state.

SP-API authorization is read-only: Adept never lists, prices, or ships. It only reads your eligibility and restriction data.

Exporting your queue

Filter your queue by decision state (Buy / Hold / Pass) and export as CSV. The format is intended to drop into any buying workflow — your repricer, your prep center handoff, or a plain Google Sheet.

Team workspaces

Each workspace has its own ranked queue — VAs work their list, admins see the whole operation. Invite team members from the Team settings page, pick a role, and they'll get a separate queue scoped to their workspace.

Decision state is tracked per seat, with an audit trail so admins can see who decided what and when.

Pipeline modes

Adept runs in two pipeline modes. Staged (no SP-API) is the default — it runs a three-stage funnel (Stage 0 prefilter, Stage 1 light enrichment, Stage 2 deep enrichment) to control token burn. SP-API gated runs the classic ungate-first path for operators who have authorized SP-API.

Both modes feed the same ranked queue. You don't need to care which mode you're in — Adept selects automatically based on your account configuration.
