Platform choice is driven by hype, not fit. This calculator evaluates Amazon, Shopify, and Etsy across three strategic layers — and shows you exactly where the fit breaks down before you commit capital.
Marketplace choice should match your capabilities, not your ambition.
Three evaluation layers
01
Customer Fit
Where does your buyer actually shop?
02
Operational Fit
Can you execute consistently here?
03
Financial Fit
Will the numbers support survival?

Your Marketplace Fit Results
Here's how each platform scores across the three layers — buyer fit, operational fit, and financial fit — in that order of priority.
These scores are based on your self-assessment. Your Entry Strategy applies the same framework with verified market data for your specific product category.
Three-Layer Breakdown
Where your fit is strong — and where it breaks
Why This Order Matters
Customer Fit comes first — always.
If your buyer doesn't shop there, operational excellence and financial strength can't overcome the mismatch. Operational Fit comes second — the platform has to match how you actually work. Financial Fit is last — you have to survive long enough for it to work.
Missing any one of the three layers creates a structural problem that effort alone can't fix.
