Waypoint Advisory
Custom AI Intelligence · Amazon 1P & 3P

Every decision your Amazon business makes — instrumented.

Waypoint builds intelligence modules: custom AI decision systems plugged into your real data. Should you run that promotion? When do you switch fulfillment methods? Which ASINs are quietly losing money? Your business context in, a defensible answer out — every time, in seconds.

Not another tool subscription. Modules are built on your data, tuned to your business, and owned by you.

Two weeks inside your operation. We map every decision you're making slowly, blindly, or in spreadsheets — and rank them by dollar impact.

Intelligence Retainer · monthly
We operate the system: models stay current, weekly narrated insights land in your inbox, and "should we do X?" always has an answer.
01 The Module Library

Pick the decisions that
bleed the most money.

Every module answers one expensive question, continuously, using your live data. Start with one. Stack them as you grow — they share the same data foundation, so each module makes the next one smarter.

MOD·01Flagship

Amazon Advertising Manager

Decides: where every ad dollar should go. An always-on AI that reads your campaigns, search terms, and AMC data — then reallocates spend, kills wasted bids, and surfaces the keywords actually driving profit, not just clicks.

InputsSponsored Products / Brands / Display campaigns, search-term reports, AMC queries, true unit margin, conversion windows, inventory state
OutputDaily bid & budget moves, negative keyword harvesting, ASIN-level ad profitability, and weekly narrated read-out of what worked and what didn't

MOD·02Most Popular

Promotion Decision Engine

InputsOn-hand inventory, sell-through, discount depth, deal fees & funding, true unit margin, expected lift, cannibalization & pull-forward
OutputRun / don't run / run-with-conditions — with the full math shown, plus inventory pre-positioning triggers

MOD·03

Fulfillment Transition Intelligence

Decides: when to switch fulfillment methods. Watches Amazon on-hand, sell-through, and fee structures — and flags the moment a transition pays: FBA↔FBM, AWD, DM→DF, or moving an ASIN between 1P and 3P.

InputsAmazon on-hand by node, sell-through velocity, fee schedules, lead times, storage cost curves, channel terms
OutputPer-ASIN transition triggers with projected savings and a transition checklist
Fixed fee · scoped at auditScope it →
MOD·04

Replenishment Engine

Decides: what to ship, where, and when. Demand-weighted restock plans tuned to IPI, capacity limits, lead-time variance, and storage-fee cliffs — drafted automatically, approved by you.

InputsDemand forecast, on-hand by node, inbound pipeline, lead times, capacity limits, fee calendar
OutputDraft shipment plans & PO responses, stockout and overstock alerts weeks ahead
Fixed fee · scoped at auditScope it →
MOD·05

Profitability Ledger

Decides: which ASINs deserve to live. A true net P&L per ASIN — fees, accruals, returns, ads, freight — refreshed daily, with CRaP risk flagged before Amazon acts on it.

InputsSettlement data, fee schedules, ad spend, returns, COGS, vendor terms & accruals
OutputASIN-level net margin, leak detection, and AI-drafted action plans for the bottom performers
Fixed fee · scoped at auditScope it →
MOD·06

Fee & Chargeback Recovery

Decides: what Amazon owes you — and goes after it. Detects FBA fee errors, weight/dim discrepancies, shortages, and operational chargebacks, then assembles evidence and drafts the disputes.

InputsSettlement reports, shipment records, invoices, chargeback logs, fee schedules
OutputFiled disputes with evidence packs, recovery tracking, leakage prevention rules
Fixed fee + % of recoveryScope it →
MOD·071P Vendors

AVN War Room

Decides: your negotiation position. Models your Annual Vendor Negotiation before you walk in — counterparty asks simulated, leverage inventoried, walk-away thresholds quantified in net PPM.

InputsCurrent terms, net PPM by ASIN, sourcing share, growth metrics, chargeback history, NPD pipeline
OutputScenario outcomes, counter-package recommendations, and the full negotiation data room

The Custom Module

Decides: whatever your business uniquely needs decided. Every operation has one weird, expensive, recurring decision that no off-the-shelf tool understands — a channel conflict, a bundling question, a marketplace expansion trigger. If we can define the inputs and the logic, we can build the module. That's the whole point of custom.

Demo only — directional, not advice. The production module replaces these sliders with your live SP-API / Vendor Central data, learned lift curves per ASIN, cannibalization & pull-forward modeling, replenishment pipeline awareness, and your actual deal fee schedule. It scores every eligible event automatically and tells you which to fund.

03 The Engagement Model

Three layers.
No hourly billing. Ever.

You always know what you're buying, what it costs, and when it ships. Consulting that behaves like a product.

Layer 1 · Start Here

Intelligence Audit

Fixed fee · 2 weeks

We go deep into your operation — Seller Central, Vendor Central, ads, your spreadsheets, your team's actual week — and find every decision being made slowly, blindly, or on gut feel.

  • Full account & data-source deep dive
  • Fee & chargeback leakage scan
  • Decision inventory ranked by dollar impact
  • Module roadmap with fixed prices & ship dates

Yours to keep. The roadmap is valuable even if you never build with us — and the audit fee credits toward your first module if you do.

Layer 2 · Build

Module Builds

Fixed scope · per module

Pick modules from your roadmap. Each is quoted as a fixed fee with a defined scope and a ship date — typically live within 3–6 weeks of kickoff.

  • Built on your live data & business context
  • Fixed price quoted before you commit
  • First module live in weeks, not quarters
  • You own the system, the models, the data

No scope creep, no surprise invoices. If the scope changes, it's a new quote — agreed before work starts.

Layer 3 · Operate

Intelligence Retainer

Monthly · cancel anytime

Modules go stale without care — Amazon changes fees, your catalog evolves, seasonality shifts. We keep the intelligence sharp and on your side.

  • Models retrained as your business changes
  • Weekly narrated insights — what changed, what to do
  • "Should we do X?" answered within a business day
  • Minor extensions & new data sources included

Defined, not unlimited. The retainer covers operation and advisory; new modules are always scoped builds. Or take the keys and self-operate — you own it all either way.

Honest question → "Why not just buy a SaaS tool or hire an agency?" Fair. Here's the difference, side by side. Compare for yourself
