Ptochina Spreadsheet Categories
Put similar rows beside each other. The comparison gets sharper because every product type has its own useful angles, measurements, and weight questions.
One sheet can contain ten different kinds of decision
A strong shoe row may still be a poor reference for judging a bag. Product types carry different fit, material, photo, and package questions.
Categories create a common frame. Once the frame is stable, you can compare evidence instead of reacting to whichever row has the loudest title.

Open accessories on FindsindexWhich category should you start with?
Start with shoes or sneakers
when size conversion, insole length, sole shape, or multiple photo angles will drive the comparison.
Start with clothing
when garment measurements, fabric weight, cut, sleeve length, or shrinkage notes matter more than a letter size.
Start with bags or accessories
when dimensions, closures, interiors, hardware, material wording, and packed volume are central.
Start with watches
when case size, dial details, clasp, movement description, and wrist fit need to be read together.
Mistakes that make a category search noisy
Mixing unrelated item types, saving before reading the dimensions, judging price without a comparable row, or assuming the category label proves the source page still matches.
- Do not carry one category's photo checklist into another.
- Do not compare a bare item with a packed-weight estimate as if they were the same.
- Do not save both rows when neither one answers the key question.
- Do not follow vague excitement when the useful details are absent.
A five-second category preflight
- Is this the product type I meant to browse?
- What two details will decide whether I keep it?
- Does the row already answer either one?
- What should the link confirm?
