01 / Failure Modes

Ranked by recurrence, not by opinion

A Teardown lists every Failure Mode in the Category in rank order. Each one carries the number of times it appears in the evidence and the records it came from.

Specimen layout. Recurrence is the number of CPSC recall records in the Category that describe that Failure Mode — counted, not estimated. Every Failure Mode carries at least 1 linked record. Read a live one in the Library.

02 / Evidence

We say what we read

The raw material is public, free, and almost nobody reads it. Open any of it yourself.

What a Teardown does not contain

  • Sales estimates
  • BSR and keyword volume
  • Supplier introductions
  • Earnings claims

Helium 10 and Jungle Scout already sell the first two to everyone in your niche. We will not guess at the rest.

03 / Improvement Spec

It ends with an instruction

The last section is not advice. It is the physical change, written in language a factory can quote against, and searched against granted patent claims before it ships.
