Validation Thesis

This concept is only built further if tracked requests, demo clicks, or marketplace intent justify the build.

Public Data Sources

The initial product would normalize public records into stable polling endpoints and exports.

Buyer Workflows

These are the specific self-serve workflows this page is testing before any backend is built.

Product recall watchlist

Normalize public recall records by product, manufacturer, category, hazard, remedy, units, and recall date.

Marketplace inventory risk feed

Route category and manufacturer matches into ecommerce, retail compliance, and marketplace trust-safety workflows.

Source-linked recall refresh

Refresh CSV snapshots and API cache from public CPSC recall sources with observed dates and source names.

Specific Workflow Tests

These pages test sharper buyer searches before implementation.

Monetization Hypothesis

Pricing only becomes meaningful after tracked demand appears. The first offer should stay narrow and low-touch.

Validation FAQ

Is this CPSC recall API live?

No. This is a validation page. Build priority depends on tracked request, sample-download, demo, and paid-API intent.

Would it tell consumers what action to take?

No. The proposed product would normalize public CPSC records and source links only. Buyers remain responsible for product, legal, safety, compliance, and consumer communication decisions.
