Interpret Marketplace Fee Comparison Results: evidence exercise 1
Reperform read structural block 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.

Interpret contribution per retained order narrowly
The result estimates contribution for the declared retained-order packet after common seller costs and channel-specific fees. A positive left-minus-right value favors the left input only under those assumptions and at that allocation denominator.
It does not measure demand, conversion, volume, customer lifetime value, payout timing, working capital, tax, accounting income, brand value, or the universally best marketplace. Model those questions separately.
Use confirmation coverage as an evidence label
Nine of nine shared confirmations plus both pair confirmations are required before derived economics remain visible. Eight of nine preserves the diagnostic packet but quarantines the 37 calculated values even when the missing control appears operational rather than mathematical.
Repair the named control and rerun the exact version. Do not manually reconstruct or unmask the blocked contribution difference outside the audit trail.
