Why this checklist matters
A spreadsheet can make products easier to find, but it cannot tell you whether an item belongs in your cart. A weak listing can still look tempting when the price is low or the thumbnail is sharp. Slow down long enough to catch the common problems: unclear sizing, missing angles, confusing variants, and shipping weight that changes the real cost.
After you do it once or twice, the check is quick. You are not trying to prove that every item is perfect. You are deciding whether there is enough evidence to keep it on the shortlist.
