Marketplace Fee Comparison Thresholds: evidence exercise 1

Reperform block invalid currency with invented Etsy, Shopify, and TikTok Shop packets. Hold product, currency, comparable customer revenue, evidence dates, common seller costs, return maturity, contribution target, and evidence controls constant, then isolate one declared channel difference.

Apply the 37-value quarantine on structural Block

Block invalid currency, coercive or unbounded values, impossible dates, fractional evidence duration, incomplete context, duplicate channel labels, missing pair confirmation, any failed shared control, or an open material conflict. The calculator then masks 37 derived common-cost, fee, contribution, margin, and difference values.

It preserves formulas, evidence dates, confirmation coverage, issues, and repair guidance. This prevents an operator from copying a channel advantage from an evidentially invalid packet.

Reserve Review for an economic target miss

Review is available only after structure passes. It means at least one channel's retained-revenue contribution margin falls below the seller-entered floor under the accepted packet. It does not prove that the channel should be abandoned.

Diagnose the actual driver—price, funding, marketplace fee, payment path, creator commission, ads, fulfillment, returns, or allocation—then preserve a new version before considering any human-authorized external change.
