Methodology Overview

Methodology Cards

Sorftime includes 20 proprietary analysis frameworks. Each card defines a weighted index that full-ranks opportunities — no hard thresholds, no hidden products.

Core Principle

Traditional tools use hard filters: minPrice ≥ $10 AND maxRating ≤ 4.2. A 4.3-star product disappears. A $9.99 product is invisible.

Sorftime uses full-ranking by composite index. Everything is scored. Nothing is hidden. The seller decides.

How Cards Work

1. Input — Seller provides product/category/keyword
2. Multi-tool query — Card triggers 3-7 MCP tools in sequence
3. Composite scoring — Weighted dimensions produce a 0-100 index
4. Full ranking — Every candidate scored, no thresholds, no blind spots
