Scaling Signal Detection
The ACBUY monitoring system tracks three key viral markers across 17 footwear forums and search platforms in accordance with:
- Thread reply velocity
- Screenshot shares
- Presence in "grail" lists
- Screenshot shares
When the "OFF-WHITE collaboration" search term spikes 180% within 7 days, our logistics API automatically reserves production capacity through partner factories - 40 days earlier
Margin Prediction Engine
Our proprietary spreadsheet cross-references historical data points:
| Metric | Nike SB Dunk | Air Jordan 1 | ACG Collection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peak resale premium | 240% | 390% | 170% |
| Demand duration | 11 weeks | 23 weeks | 6 weeks |
The algorithm weights recent comps 3X heavier than older sales data to account for market saturation effects.
Community Co-Creation
Rather than guessing product descriptions, we launch targeted Reddit threads (r/ACBUY) asking:
"What made you instantly NEED this collab?"
Verified buyer responses get coded into two categories:
