The leaks I can see from the public listing

Inventory & IPI
The best keyword in the account is useless if FBA is empty.
Best fit: FBA brands whose ads outrun inbound — or whose IPI is drifting toward a storage limit
Cover
Heroes are not scaled into a stockout
IPI
A weekly number, not a surprise storage limit
Q4
Two fee clocks sit on the same plan as bids
Full-service agencies list “inventory management” and mean a team that tickets FBA. This desk means: ads do not outrun cover, excess does not sit through peak storage unexamined, and IPI is a weekly number next to ACOS.
Q4 2026 has two clocks — peak storage from 1 October through December, peak fulfillment 15 October 2026–14 January 2027. Restock decisions and bid caps have to see both. I will not invent FBA rate cards; live fees live in Seller Central.
Stranded inventory is a catalog-plus-ops bug. It belongs here because it quietly taxes IPI while ads keep spending.
Who this is for
FBA sellers who want restock and IPI in the same weekly plan as bids — not a 3PL login and a hope.
Who it is not for
I do not purchase inventory, book freight, or run a warehouse. I pace the account so ads, inbound dates, and IPI stop fighting.
How the work actually runs
01
Map cover
Hero ASINs, inbound, stranded. What would break if we scaled tomorrow.
02
Cap bids
If cover cannot support the plan, the bid cap is the plan — not “order more” as a slogan.
03
IPI
Trend, excess, aged. Dogs do not get restocked because a dashboard said “keep in stock.”
04
Calendar
Peak storage and peak fulfillment next to the promo calendar. Same desk.
What is in the workstream
- Days-of-cover watch on hero ASINs
- Bid caps when inbound cannot support scale
- IPI trend in the weekly log
- Stranded inventory flags
- Q4 storage vs fulfillment calendar vs bids
- Excess notes on dogs that should not restock
- Launch ASINs: do not advertise empty
- No freight booking, no inventory purchasing
Week one
I map hero ASINs: days of cover, inbound in flight, stranded, IPI. Anything we would have scaled into a stockout gets a bid cap in week one.
Every week after
Weeks of cover on heroes, stranded watch, IPI trend, and bid caps on anything that cannot hold stock through the next inbound. Peak storage and peak fulfillment dates sit on the same calendar.
On this workstream’s desk
Named seats, not a logo wall. Each page says the job, the rail, and what still has to happen in Seller Central or the Ads Console.
Sellerboard
SellerBoardTrue P&L after COGS, Amazon fees, ads, and reimbursements — the number that sets the bid ceiling, not the Ads Console ACOS tile.
Teikametrics
Flywheel, Teikametrics ARIGoal-based Amazon ads automation that can ingest COGS and inventory — used when the target is contribution, not a folklore ACOS.
FAQ
Do you place FBA inbound shipments?
I tell you what has to land and by when. I do not book the freight or buy the units. That is your ops or 3PL.
What is IPI?
Inventory Performance Index. Below Amazon’s threshold they limit storage. It is a weekly desk number here, not a once-a-quarter panic.
Do you handle reimbursements for lost FBA inventory?
Inbound shipped-vs-received, FC lost/damaged, and related claim windows sit on the shipment-discrepancies workstream. IPI pacing does not file those cases — it stops ads from scaling into empty bins.
How does this change PPC?
If the hero cannot hold stock, we do not raise bids. Ranking into a stockout is how you donate the keyword to a rival.
This workstream on the free review
You do not need to hire it to find out if it belongs on the account. Send the public store link. I tell you whether this lever is leaking, whether I am the person to run it, and what week one would be.
Whether this desk is a fit
If I cannot show the leaks, I decline. You are not added to a roster. A “no” is a complete answer, not a follow-up sequence.
What week one would be
Harvest, defense, listing pass, or “not yet.” Named in writing — not a 40-slide deck and a 12-month PDF.
Capacity is limited because I work the accounts myself. The review is how we decide if this workstream belongs on yours.
