The problem

Launching a private-label product on Amazon.de is a capital decision made under uncertainty. Get the demand read wrong, the margin math wrong, or the IP clearance wrong, and the cost lands months later in unsold inventory or a takedown notice. The founder needed decision-ready evidence, not vibes.

The research pipeline

Market OverviewProfitability ModelIP ClearanceSupplier SpecPursue / Pass

Every SKU moves through the same pipeline and exits as a pursue/pass recommendation with the evidence attached.

What each SKU gets

Market overview

Competitor and demand analysis across 40+ Amazon.de and D2C listings using Helium 10 — pricing gaps, review positioning, demand signals. One analysis identified room to undercut the category leader by ~40%.

Profitability model

Margin modeling that includes VAT (reverse-charge), FBA and referral fees, landed cost, and freight — validated against a 30% margin floor with price-sensitivity scenarios.

IP & design clearance

Patent, registered-design, and trademark sweeps across EU/DE jurisdictions, delivered as written clearance records with design guardrails and a residual-risk assessment.

Supplier spec sheet

Supplier-ready technical specifications — dimensions, materials, finishes, and compliance requirements (REACH/nickel) — from sourcing and evaluating overseas manufacturers.

How it runs

Recommendations go directly to the founder with clear pursue/pass rationale. Handoffs, status, and weekly check-ins run through Asana and Slack; time tracking and monthly invoicing are fully auditable. The quality bar is written into the SOPs: accurate, complete, verifiable.
