Five-Dimensional Product Research Analysis

Problem

When a factory, trader, or investor is evaluating a new product, the hard part is rarely finding information. The hard part is connecting platform demand, supplier pricing, compliance requirements, competitor positioning, and internal capacity into one decision. Keyword heat can overstate demand, while cost quotes can hide certification, after-sales, and cash-flow risks. This skill turns the question of whether a product is viable into a structured analysis.

Workflow and core capabilities

It first asks for the target product, company context, channels, target markets, test budget, and concerns, then runs five dimensions:
- Product profile: technical principles, use cases, target users, lifecycle, entry barriers, and regulatory environment.
- Demand validation: keywords, platform heat, social signals, representative listings, regional demand, and substitutes.
- Competitive landscape: seller density, top vendors, price bands, SWOT, competitor marketing, and differentiation gaps.
- Profit and supply chain: costs for procurement, logistics, tariffs, platform fees, certification, and after-sales, plus scenario and sensitivity analysis.
- Fit assessment: capability radar, supply chain, channels, risk matrix, Porter's Five Forces, and cross-category synergy.
The conclusion is fixed as go ✅ / no-go ❌ / conditional ⚠️, with reasons, risks, assumptions, and a 7-day MVP validation plan.

Boundaries

It fits B2B products, industrial equipment, packaging machinery, cross-border e-commerce, and factory category expansion. The quality of the result depends on current market data. If company context is missing, the skill uses industry baselines and flags those assumptions. For fast-moving consumer goods, pure SaaS, brand-led products, or formal legal and financial due diligence, use it as a research framework, not a substitute for professional review.
