Can the row answer the questions that matter?

Score / 7
  • The item belongs in the category I am browsing

  • Photos show the details that matter for this product type

  • Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible when needed

  • Price makes sense beside similar finds

  • Shipping weight does not ruin the value

  • The row is not just hype or a vague label

  • I can explain why I would save this find

Use the number as a pause, not a promise

6–7

Strong shortlist candidate

The row gives you several useful details and a clear reason to continue checking.

4–5

Research more

Name what is missing, then use the external page to look for it.

2–3

Weak row

Too many important questions remain open for a fair comparison.

0–1

Remove for now

The row is taking space without helping you choose.

Ask for the angles the item needs

A large photo count is less useful than a small set that answers the right questions.

Shoes

Both sides, toe, heel, outsole, inside label, and a clear size or length reference.

Clothing

Front and back, fabric close-up, seams or print, tags, and visible measurement method.

Bags

Front, back, interior, base, closures, strap attachments, hardware, and scale.

Watches & accessories

Front, side, back, clasp or fastening point, material detail, dimensions, and wear scale.

Good row example

“Zip hoodie · chest and length shown · front/back/cuff photos · source loads · weight noted as estimate”

The details support a comparison and clearly separate measured information from an estimate.

Weak row example

“Popular hoodie · good price · link”

The category is visible, but the row gives no useful fit, photo, source, or package evidence.

One-sentence save rule

Save the row only when you can finish this sentence: “I am keeping it because…”
