Product Research Score

Rate a potential product from 1-10 on search volume, trend, margin, competition, and competing reviews, and get a weighted 0-10 research score with a proceed/validate/skip read — the score is only as good as your own honest ratings, since these inputs aren't pulled from real market data.

How to Use Product Research Score
  1. 1Rate the product's search volume, trend, and margin
  2. 2Rate competition level and number of competing reviews (1-10 each)
  3. 3Click Calculate to see the weighted research score and verdict
Frequently Asked Questions

No — you supply all five ratings yourself based on your own research (e.g. checking search trends, counting competitor listings, estimating margin). The formula just combines your ratings with fixed weights; it doesn't pull live market data.

Search volume 25%, trend 20%, margin 25%, low competition 20% (10 minus your competition rating), few reviews 10% (10 minus your reviews rating) — these weights are fixed and not adjustable.

All three combine subjective 1-10 ratings into a weighted score, but each uses a different factor set and different weights. This one focuses on search volume and competing reviews; Niche Profitability Calculator uses demand/competition/trend; Winning Product Scorecard adds a 'wow factor' and seasonality. They're not interchangeable — pick based on which factors matter most for your evaluation.

7+ suggests proceeding, 5-7 suggests validating further before investing, below 5 suggests looking elsewhere — but since every input is your own estimate, treat the verdict as a structured second opinion, not a guarantee.
