Sourcing scope
We evaluate practical, replenishable goods with clear product information, supplier-supported provenance, and a defined route to a marketplace channel the supplier approves.
Selection posture
“Typical profile” describes the kind of supplier information and physical unit we can assess. It is not an order commitment or case-quantity requirement.
We look for products that can be represented accurately, received against a purchase order, prepared to applicable fulfillment requirements, and replenished without creating avoidable channel pressure.

Outside the brief
A clear “no” protects both sides from channel, handling, and catalog problems that a broad category label can conceal.
