I currently work in E-commerce, local online marketplace in Kazakhstan. I scraped all millions of goods in the marketplace, then analyzed top 30k goods with AI. Goal here to find it's supplier in China accurately and estimate weight, similarity, etc. That index gave me huge competitive advantage compared to other sellers and extremely boosting my income. But that cost a lot, because, it's literally like running new Claude Code session for each good of tenth thousands, with custom tools like search in alibaba, viewing reviews, etc.

In marketplaces margin/ROI of goods are distributed like(just for example):

Top 1% goods (P01) - ROI 1000%+

Top 5% goods - ROI 300%+

Top 10% goods - ROI 100%+

Top 20% goods - ROI 50%+

And so on. So such automation helps me to find that Top 1% first
