    ### From connection to verified outcome

    The controlled sequence every capability follows. Nothing changes a connected system without the approval step.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Connect">
        Authorise the source. Scopes are shown before access is granted.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Monitor">
        Watch the signals against your own baselines, not universal defaults.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Detect">
        Run checks and gather evidence specific to your store.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Recommend">
        Explain what happened, why it matters and the proposed action.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Approve">
        You review scope, risk and reversibility before anything changes.

    ### Audit risks and opportunities

    A fix status appears only where the action, inputs, approval, verification and recovery controls are mapped. Candidate remediations are never executable. Open a check for the detail.

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Listings missing required attributes (varies per marketplace)">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Candidate remediation

        A listing missing a required attribute is commonly suppressed, down-ranked in marketplace search, or blocked from certain placements entirely, so it can be losing sales without showing any error the seller would notice on the listing itself.

        A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided.

      <Accordion title="Seller feedback score dropped > 3pp in 30 days">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Seller feedback score is one of the strongest signals marketplace search ranking and buy-box eligibility use, so a drop this size can cost visibility on every listing, not just the ones that triggered the negative feedback.

        Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        The share of revenue this marketplace takes as fees has shifted by more than 2 percentage points from last quarter. On thin-margin products, a shift this size can move a listing from profitable to break-even without anything on the store side changing at all.

        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Run operations · **Fix status** Report only

        A payout is running more than 7 days behind this marketplace's usual schedule. That is cash the store has already earned sitting outside its bank account, which matters directly to cash flow regardless of how the underlying sales are performing.

        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Returns on this marketplace jumped more than 50% above the recent average. Beyond the direct cost of the returned goods and return shipping, a spike this size often also damages the seller-performance metrics the marketplace uses for search ranking and account health.
