Launch a DSP Campaign Without Half-Built Entities
Zero eligible DSP tactics is almost always a goal-KPI mismatch, not an outage. Create every entity paused, verify each write, then activate parent-first.
The Data-Mode Router That Stops Bad ACoS Math
Your SQP export has no cost column. Atlas blocks ACoS there and routes to Conversion Performance Index instead, the fix for nonsense report numbers.
Auditing FBA Reimbursements: What Amazon Owes You
The reimbursement portal lists events but never classifies, window-checks, or values them. A Skill audits every event against three windows, two rules.
The ARA Report and Metric Glossary for Vendors
Every ARA dashboard maps to an SP-API report type. Amazon's own docs define Conversion two ways on one page; a Skill routes the question and flags it.
Listing Suppression Diagnosis: Stranded or Buyable
Use live listing status, the suppression reason report, and FBA evidence to diagnose a silent ASIN before applying the wrong fix.
The Agent Bidding Rulebook That Prevents Bid Thrash
A bid should move only when sufficiency, an ACoS deadband, and a daily clamp all agree. The bounded rulebook an agent runs, with the thresholds.
Recover Featured Offer Eligibility Without Guessing
A grounded workflow separates Featured Offer eligibility from placement, then traces price-health warnings to the exact offer evidence.
FBA Inventory Health After the 2024 Fee Change
Amazon removed one FBA fee, but monthly storage, capacity limits, and aged inventory surcharges still need a repeatable review your agent can run.
Find ASIN Margin Leakage with Net PPM
Find which Vendor Central ASINs are dragging Net PPM by ranking rate deterioration and separating cost, funding, and discount pressure.
Brand Registry: Fix 'Trademark Already Enrolled'
Fix the 'trademark is already enrolled' error: get added as an additional user by the Administrator, or continue to apply and share your contact info.
Dispute a PO On-Time Accuracy Chargeback
Dispute an Amazon Vendor Central PO on-time accuracy chargeback with the right evidence, route, letter, and 30-day deadline.
Measure Off-Amazon Conversions in AMC
Measure DTC web, app, store, and offline conversions in Amazon Marketing Cloud with Events Manager signals and a grounded AMC SQL query.
Rebuild Your Listing Images From Your Own Photos
Seed new Amazon listing images from your own photos, grade each against Amazon's image rules, and approve before anything publishes, grounded by Atlas.
Amazon FBM Orders Reports: What to Request and Why
Choose Seller Central FBM reports for fulfillment data and SP-API All Orders reports for tracking, support, and finance cuts.
Find Your Optimal DSP Frequency Cap in AMC
Find your optimal Amazon DSP frequency cap in AMC: bucket impressions and conversions, then cap where cumulative cost outruns cumulative return.
Map AMC Paths Across DSP and Sponsored Ads
Use AMC Campaign Groups to map DSP and sponsored ads paths into Sankey-ready source-to-destination rows you can chart without reshaping them.
Preview Listing Patches Before They Go Live
An Atlas-grounded agent audits a live listing, previews a patchListingsItem update with VALIDATION_PREVIEW, and waits for approval.
Count New-to-Brand Customers in AMC
Use the conversion-time table to count new-to-brand customers in AMC without confusing users, purchases, or traffic-time attribution drift.
Sponsored Ads x DSP Overlap: The 4-Way AMC Analysis

Choose the Right AMC Attribution Source
Pick the right AMC attribution data source before custom modeling, audience building, or standard-report reconciliation.
Evaluate Prime Day AMC Lookalikes
Evaluate a Prime Day AMC lookalike against last year's rule-based audience using new-to-brand share, incremental reach, and cost per acquisition.
Segment AMC Customers by CLTV
Build AMC CLTV segments with the four-segment taxonomy, the correct audience table variant, and a cohort migration diagnostic you can re-run.
Build High-Value AMC Audience Seeds
Build high-value AMC audience seeds with the right table variant, a seed-size buffer, and the lookalike activation checks that keep them usable.
Re-Engage Lapsed AMC Loyalists
Build a lapsed-loyalist AMC audience with EXTEND_TIME_WINDOW, non-ad-exposed filters, and the activation-size checks DSP needs before launch.
Build Prime Day AMC Lookalikes
Build a Prime Day AMC lookalike audience with seed SQL, sizing checks, and the 500 to 500,000 user window Amazon requires before activation.
Build an AMC Cart-Abandoner Audience
Build a cart-abandoner audience in AMC with the right table variant, a seed-size check, and the DSP activation timing that avoids a stale segment.
Measure Subscribe & Save Lift in AMC
Measure Subscribe & Save lift in AMC with the repeatSnSOrder signal, the conversions_all table, and a 90-day minimum window for a stable read.
Turn AMC Workflows into Agent Skills
Package repeatable AMC analysis into agent Skills with Atlas retrieval, sufficiency checks, human approval, and run logging already built in.
Why MCP Needs Run Logs
Define the run log fields MCP-based agents need before read, write, approval, and rollback workflows can be trusted in a real Amazon account.
Human Approval for AMC Activation
Gate AMC audience activation behind human approval: size the seed, review the exact payload, then submit. 2000-user floor, 24 to 36 hour DSP lag.
