Weakest lever: Visibility
Rank fell from roughly 170 to 519 in 90 days. Far fewer people are seeing this listing than a quarter ago, so every other lever is working on a smaller audience.
Ratings is the deepest lever
The score above is the rating trend on its own. The full report reads every written review on this listing and maps each complaint to a root cause, so you see which of the other levers your customers are actually describing.
Assortment is not scored here. Cached sample snapshot carries no variant family, so coverage cannot be scored.
Pricing: Single cached price point, so there is no 90-day price history behind this.

Coverage
All five levers
Operations, pricing, assortment, visibility, and ratings, scored every week from your own listing data. Ratings goes deepest: every written review read, 1 star through 5.
The pattern
40-55%
of 1-star reviews trace to listing accuracy rather than product failure. Most fixes are copy changes. (Sentopi analysis of 3,725 reviews across 7 brands.)
Typical revenue at risk
$24,600 / yr
for a $25 product at 4.0★ vs. 4.5★, 800 reviews/yr. Yours is calculated to your price and volume.
Cadence
Every week
A leak shows up in the lever before it shows up in your deposit. First report inside 48 hours, then weekly, with owners pre-assigned.
The Retail Flywheel

Five levers run
every Amazon brand.

Run weekly, they compound. Neglect one and it caps the rest. Ratings is the lever that reports on the other four, which is why it is the one we read deepest.

01

Operations

Keep it in stock and shipping fast. A stockout loses today's sale and the rank behind tomorrow's.

Watch: in-stock rate
02

Pricing

Be obviously worth it next to the alternative on the same screen, or carry a USP strong enough that you never compete on price.

Watch: price vs the comparable listing
03

Assortment

Carry the size, bundle, and variant your customer is actually looking for. Every gap is demand handed to a competitor.

Watch: variant coverage vs the leader
04

Visibility

Earn rank with ASIN-level relevancy. Visibility you buy stops the day you stop paying; relevancy compounds.

Watch: organic rank and glance views
05

Ratings

The feedback signal for the other four. Customers tell you, in their own words, which lever is leaking. This is where we read every review rather than sampling.

Watch: star rating and review velocity
From the founders

Between us, we spent more than 10 years in retail and ecommerce at some of the largest companies in the world, including Amazon and Walmart. We kept watching strong products lose sales to problems sitting in plain sight in their own reviews. Sentopi is the product we always wished we had: it scores every lever each week, reads every review behind the one that is slipping, and hands you a ranked list of exactly what to fix first. No analyst required.

The Problem

You already know
something is off.
You just don't know which lever.

Sales slipped and the cause is unclear. Rank, price, stock, and rating all moved a little. Nothing tells you which one actually cost you the units.

The answer is buried in your own reviews. Reading hundreds of them to find it is not how you are spending your week.

Your team debates whether problems are product, ops, or marketing. No data to settle it.

Every analysis is built around one question: what do we fix first, who owns it, and how does it move our rating?
Root Cause Breakdown 3,725 reviews · 7 brands

True product failure

Other expectation gaps

Across the 7-brand sample, listing accuracy drove 40-55% of 1-star reviews. The fix is almost always a copy change rather than a product change. Knowing which half is the entire game.

Know who owns every fix before you leave.

How It Works

From your Amazon link
to a weekly operating rhythm.

Share your link once. We gather, read, and score all five levers every week; you get back a prioritized report with the actions that move the number.

01

Score the Five Levers

Drop in your Amazon URL. Sentopi reads your stock and Buy Box position, price against comparable listings, variant coverage, rank trajectory, and rating, then scores each lever. Nothing for you to do.

Five levers, scored weekly
02

Open the Lever That Is Leaking

The weakest lever gets the deep read. When it is ratings, that means every review categorized by root cause, scored by volume, severity, and fixability, then checked against your listing claims.

Product, ops, or marketing
03

Your Ranked To-Do List, Every Week

Every fix comes out pre-assigned to product, ops, or marketing with a revenue number attached. No interpretation needed; your team knows exactly what to do and what it is worth.

Common Questions

What Amazon sellers
ask before starting.

What does Sentopi do?
Sentopi runs the Retail Flywheel for your brand. Five levers drive an Amazon business: operations, pricing, assortment, visibility, and ratings. We score all five every week from your own listing data, name the one that is leaking, and go deep on it. When that lever is ratings, going deep means reading every review and mapping each complaint to a root cause. You get a ranked to-do list: what to fix first, who owns it, and what it is worth in annual revenue.
How is Sentopi different from Helium 10 or Jungle Scout?
Those tools hand you dashboards and leave the interpreting to you. Sentopi scores the five levers, names the weakest one, ties it to a dollar impact, and ranks the fixes. When the weak lever is ratings, we read every review rather than sampling sentiment. You leave with an action plan instead of another dashboard to operate.
Is it really free?
The five-lever read on any ASIN is free and instant, with no email required. Your first full product report is free too: paste your Amazon link and we score every lever and read 100 of your reviews, delivered within 48 hours with no credit card. The weekly report is $149 per month per product.
What do I need to give you to get started?
Just your Amazon product URL. Sentopi collects the full written review set automatically, so there is nothing to export and no Seller Central login required. Every source we use is public Amazon data.
How fast do I get results, and how accurate are they?
The free report lands within 48 hours. Findings are built from your actual reviews and public Amazon data. Each issue is scored by volume, severity, and fixability, so the ranking reflects real impact rather than how loud a single complaint is. Where public data cannot measure a lever, we say so on the scorecard rather than scoring it anyway.
