Closed-Loop Product Selection Workflow

Version: 3.3 | Validated: 20 rounds, 82.7% avg adoption rate | Panel: 7 independent sub-agent reviewers

The Closed-Loop Product Selection Workflow is Sorftime Seller Agent's flagship end-to-end product research pipeline. It covers the full journey from product discovery through supply chain sourcing, financial analysis, risk assessment, and a 7-member independent AI seller review panel that votes on every product — then delivers a complete Go/No-Go decision package with post-launch monitoring.

Quick Start

/goal /sorftime-seller-agent Execute Closed-Loop Product Selection for yoga mats on Amazon US. Seller: beginner, $10000, private-label.

Dual-Path Discovery

Path 1: HPI Product-First	Path 2: Market-First
Find undervalued individual products	Analyze categories first, then products
potential_product → full HPI ranking	category_report → 11-dimension scoring
Best for: beginners, <$10K, opportunistic	Best for: brands, factories, strategic entry
🎯 Sniper: "one overlooked gem"	🗺️ Cartographer: "best land to claim"

8-Phase Pipeline

Phase	Name	Key Action
P0	Seller Input Gate	Budget, platform, stage, model, path selection
PA	Product Discovery	HPI ranking OR market panorama → ≥10 products
PB	Deep-Dive Verification	detail + trend + traffic + reviews (parallel batches)
PC	Supply Chain	1688 sourcing, full landed cost, first-order qty
PD	Financial Analysis	Full P&L → true net margin (NO verdict here)
PE	Risk Assessment	4-tier + brand + seasonal + IP + compliance
PD2	7-Member Seller Review Panel	7 independent sub-agents vote GO/CAUTION/NO-GO
PF	Final Deliverable	Decision table, risk registry, first-order plan
PG	Post-Launch Monitoring	/loop command with 30/60/90-day checks

7-Member Seller Review Panel

The verdict is NOT an algorithm — it's 7 independent AI sub-agents, each role-playing a different seller perspective:

Seat	Role	Weight	Veto?
1	Peer Match (same stage/budget/model)	×2	No
2	Peer Alt (tighter budget, opposite risk)	×1	No
3	Mentor (one stage above)	×1.5	No
4	Conservative (risk-averse)	×1	No
5	Opportunity (growth-oriented)	×1	No
6	Platform Specialist	×1.5	🚫 Yes
7	Financial Auditor (P&L-only)	×1	🚫 Yes

Voting: GO ≥4/7 with Seat6 ≠ NO-GO. NO-GO ≥4/7 OR Seat7 veto. Panel may override algorithmic thresholds.

Key Gotchas

• product_traffic_terms: Use exposure_position field, NOT organic_searched_percentage
• product_trend: Parameter is product_trend_type, not trend_type
• PD2: Must spawn 7 sub-agents. Main agent FORBIDDEN from voting.
• All data: [VERIFIED] / [ESTIMATED:formula] / [ASSUMED:source] / [UNAVAILABLE:reason]
