Seven-point pre-save check

SpreeNow Spreadsheet Checklist Before Saving a Find

A row does not need to be perfect. It does need enough useful detail to justify more time. Run this check before the tab count starts climbing.

Field note

Score the evidence in the row—not your enthusiasm for the item.

The check

Seven questions before “save”

Read each statement literally. If the row makes you guess, leave it unchecked.

  1. The item belongs in the category I am browsing.
  2. Photos show the details that matter for this product type.
  3. Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible when needed.
  4. Price makes sense beside similar finds.
  5. Shipping weight does not ruin the value.
  6. The row is not just hype or a vague label.
  7. I can explain why I would save this find.

Score the row

Let the missing evidence lower the score

Do not award half points for details you hope to find later.

6–7

Strong shortlist candidate

Worth a closer read on the external page.

4–5

Research more

Name the missing detail before opening another tab.

2–3

Weak row

Too much of the decision still depends on guessing.

0–1

Remove for now

The row has not earned more attention.

QC by category

Useful photos answer different questions

“Has QC photos” is not enough. Ask whether the photo set covers the details that matter.

Shoes & sneakers

Side profile, toe, heel, sole, labels, stitching, and an insole or size reference.

Clothing

Front and back, seams, cuffs, collar, print or embroidery, fabric texture, and measurements.

Bags & accessories

Interior, closures, hardware, straps, dimensions, finish, and any removable parts.

Electronics

Ports, model details, included accessories, compatibility labels, and condition—plus current restrictions.

Good row example

A jacket row that earns six checks

The photos show front, back, lining, and fasteners. Chest and sleeve measurements are visible. The price sits near similar jackets, the expected bulk is considered, and the source destination matches. You can say why it is saved.

Weak row example

A link held together by a label

One compressed image, no measurements, no useful material note, no weight context, and a destination that is unclear. The only reason to save it is that the row calls itself popular.

One-sentence save rule

Save a row only when you can name the evidence that makes it worth another look.

What to do next

Keep the score beside the external page

Recheck current product details, options, and destination. A high checklist score is permission to research—not a quality or seller guarantee.
