Analysis from the latest scoring

We scored 9 AliExpress products in the Hair Styling Tools niche. The median Opportunity Score is 50, the middle half of products sit between 47.33 and 50.33, and the best product scores 59.67. None clear our shortlist threshold of 65, which makes this a hard niche to win in with off-the-shelf AliExpress listings. 33% of products hit at least one safety gate, most often the product-risk gate (fragile, regulated or high-return items); a gate caps the score (at 50, 55 or 40) however strong the other signals are. 22% have at least 500 lifetime orders and 0% have 2,000 or more. The median supplier price is $27.24. At our default 2.5x markup that points to a $68.10 retail price and a median break-even CAC of $36.55. That break-even CAC beats the benchmark acquisition cost on Meta ($14.00) for 78%, TikTok ($9.50) for 89% and Google Shopping ($17.50) for 78% of products. On product fit alone, TikTok weights rank this niche highest (median 50). Competition between near-identical listings is moderate; a better offer or angle matters. The economics mostly work (most products can pay the TikTok benchmark CAC), but the product signals are weak, so compete on the offer and creative rather than novelty.
