Signals with an alert band can raise Nerve Centre alerts; every signal supports a merchant-configured watcher. | Signal | Outcome | Alert behaviour | What it tracks | | -------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Costco vs DTC Pricing Parity** | Protect revenue | Merchant rule | Items where the wholesale unit cost we charge Costco is materially below our own DTC list price , MAP-compliance + margin signal. | | **Item Delisting Burst (24h)** | Grow revenue | Merchant rule | Multiple items moved from active -> delisted in 24h , usually a category-wide ranging review. Direct revenue blocker; investigate the same day. | | **Items Delisted This Week** | Run operations | Merchant rule | Items flipped from active -> delisted in the last 7 days. Direct shelf-loss; chase reasons within 24h. | | **Last Successful Inbound** | Run operations | Merchant rule | Hours since the last successfully-parsed inbound file. >36h on a working day = something has stopped. | | **POs Missing ASN** | Run operations | Merchant rule | Open POs where the ship-by has passed and no ASN has been dropped to /outbox. Action immediately. | | **Active Listings** | Catalogue quality | Watch only | Active Listings as exposed by the Costco SIP integration. The metric is computed from the latest available data and refreshed on the standard data refresh | | **Average Order Value** | Run operations | Watch only | Average Order Value as exposed by the Costco SIP integration. The metric is computed from the latest available data and refreshed on the standard data refresh | | **Average PO Value** | Run operations | Watch only | Average \$ per PO. Falling AVP at steady PO count = Costco buyers ranging fewer SKUs per order. | | **Buyer Messages Unread** | Run operations | Watch only | Buyer Messages Unread as exposed by the Costco SIP integration. The metric is computed from the latest available data and refreshed on the standard data refresh | | **Chargeback Risk (30d)** | Protect revenue | Merchant rule | Estimated \$ chargebacks from late ASNs + fill-rate misses + ACK failures. Costco aggressively charges back; this is recoverable margin. | | **Costco Account Health Score** | Protect revenue | Merchant rule | Composite , feed-uptime × on-time-ASN-rate × inverse(chargeback-value) × inverse(delisted-items). | | **Costco Issues in Jira** | Protect revenue | Merchant rule | Open Jira tickets referencing a Costco PO or chargeback. Ageing tickets = unrecovered chargebacks + un-resolved ranging risk. | | **Costco POs via ShipBob (SLA)** | Protect revenue | Merchant rule | Costco PO ship-by SLA isolated to orders fulfilled through ShipBob , separates 3PL performance from internal-warehouse performance. | | **Daily PO Count** | Grow revenue | Watch only | POs received per day. Steady-state cadence; flat days are usually weekends/holidays. | | **Deduction Pattern** | Run operations | Watch only | Top 10 deduction reason codes by \$ value. Identifies systemic issues vs one-off events. | | **Error Pattern (7d)** | Run operations | Watch only | Top 5 parse-error codes across inbound + outbound files. Identifies systemic vs transient issues. | | **File-Volume Anomaly** | Run operations | Merchant rule | Daily inbound + outbound file count vs rolling baseline. Sudden volume drop or spike both deserve attention. | | **Fill Rate** | Run operations | Merchant rule | Units shipped / units ordered across all POs. Below 98% triggers Costco's vendor-scorecard penalty. | | **Invoiced Value (30d)** | Run operations | Alert band 0 / -5 | Total \$ invoiced to Costco. Cross-check with weekly\_po\_value; persistent gaps = un-invoiced fulfilled POs. | | **Item-Master Sync Status** | Protect revenue | Merchant rule | Items currently flagged 'pending review' or 'delisted' in Costco's catalogue , proxy for ranging risk. | | **Items Active** | Run operations | Watch only | Total items listed as active in Costco's catalogue. Baseline for delisting alerts. | | **Items Pending Review** | Run operations | Merchant rule | Items Costco has flagged for review (case-pack mismatch, GTIN error, label issue). Resolve before they delist. | | **Items with Field Drift** | Run operations | Merchant rule | Items where description, case-pack, or cost-per-unit differ between our supplier system and Costco's catalogue. | | **Last Successful Outbound** | Run operations | Merchant rule | Hours since the last outbound file Costco ACKed. Stale = our drops aren't being read or are failing parse. | | **Late ASN Burst** | Protect revenue | Merchant rule | Burst of ASNs sent past Costco's ship-by window. Each is a chargeback; clusters mean a fulfilment-side breakage to chase. | | **Late ASN Count (30d)** | Protect revenue | Merchant rule | ASNs sent AFTER Costco's ship-by window. Each one is an automatic chargeback under Costco's supplier rules. | | **Listings Expiring Soon** | Catalogue quality | Watch only | Listings Expiring Soon as exposed by the Costco SIP integration. The metric is computed from the latest available data and refreshed on the standard data refresh | | **Marketplace Fees Paid** | Run operations | Watch only | Marketplace Fees Paid as exposed by the Costco SIP integration. The metric is computed from the latest available data and refreshed on the standard data refresh | | **Missing Overnight Feed** | Catalogue quality | Merchant rule | Costco's daily PO drop typically lands by 2am UK. No file by 7am working-day = either Costco's side has stopped OR our pickup has stopped. | | **Oldest Pending Payout (days)** | Run operations | Alert band 7 / 21 | Oldest Pending Payout (days) as exposed by the Costco SIP integration. The metric is computed from the latest available data and refreshed on the standard data refresh | | **On-Time ASN Rate** | Protect revenue | Merchant rule | % of POs that received an ASN before Costco's ship-by window. Direct chargeback driver. | | **PO Acknowledgment Rate** | Run operations | Merchant rule | % of inbound POs that we sent an ACK file for. Missing ACKs = Costco assumes we're offline. | | **Payments Overdue** | Run operations | Merchant rule | Invoices past Costco's standard 30-day net term with no paid\_at. Reach out to AP before write-off. | | **Pending Payouts** | Run operations | Watch only | Pending Payouts as exposed by the Costco SIP integration. The metric is computed from the latest available data and refreshed on the standard data refresh | | **Revenue at Risk (live)** | Protect revenue | Merchant rule | Sum of (delisted\_items × velocity × ASP) + (open POs past ship-by × chargeback rate). Recoverable if action taken. | | **SFTP Connection Failure** | Control risk and change | Merchant rule | SFTP handshake or auth failures in a row. Most common cause: AIOS egress IP not allowlisted by Costco , file with the supplier-portal admin. | | **Sync Error Count (7d)** | Run operations | Merchant rule | Item-master-update files we sent that Costco rejected. Each rejection blocks the related items from updating. | | **Top Listings by Revenue** | Grow revenue | Watch only | Top Listings by Revenue as exposed by the Costco SIP integration. The metric is computed from the latest available data and refreshed on the standard data refresh | | **Total Revenue** | Grow revenue | Watch only | Total Revenue as exposed by the Costco SIP integration. The metric is computed from the latest available data and refreshed on the standard data refresh | | **Total Transactions** | Run operations | Watch only | Total Transactions as exposed by the Costco SIP integration. The metric is computed from the latest available data and refreshed on the standard data refresh | | **Weekly PO Value** | Grow revenue | Alert band 0 / -5 | Sum of POs received this week. Costco PO cadence is steady , sudden drops signal ranging changes. | ## Audit risks and opportunities A fix status appears only where the action, inputs, approval, verification and recovery controls are mapped. Candidate remediations are never executable. | Check | Severity | Outcome | Why it matters | Fix status | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | **Listings missing required attributes (varies per marketplace)** | high | Grow revenue | A listing missing a required attribute is commonly suppressed, down-ranked in marketplace search, or blocked from certain placements entirely, so it can be losing sales without showing any e | Report only | | **Marketplace fee % drifted > 2pp vs last quarter** | medium | Grow revenue | The share of revenue this marketplace takes as fees has shifted by more than 2 percentage points from last quarter. On thin-margin products, a shift this size can move a listing from profita | Report only | | **Payout overdue > 7 days vs marketplace's typical schedule** | medium | Run operations | A payout is running more than 7 days behind this marketplace's usual schedule. That is cash the store has already earned sitting outside its bank account, which matters directly to cash flow | Report only | | **Return rate spiked > 50% vs 90-day average** | medium | Grow revenue | Returns on this marketplace jumped more than 50% above the recent average. Beyond the direct cost of the returned goods and return shipping, a spike this size often also damages the seller-p | Report only | ### Build your own automated fixes 4 checks report findings on Costco SIP today.
