Meridian Operator System · Amazon
Revenue is not the number that matters on Amazon.
What to source, what it actually lands at, what the fee stack takes, and what is left. Fourteen files built around a workbook that does the arithmetic before you commit stock.
The problem
Most sellers learn their real margin after the money is already in inventory.
Not because the maths is hard. Because four costs are easy to leave out until they have already been paid.
Quoting on unit price, not landed cost
Freight, duty, prep, storage and returns all land after the purchase order is signed. The unit price is the smallest part of the number.
Underestimating the fee stack
Referral, fulfilment, storage, long-term storage, removals and advertising compound. A product can be profitable per unit and unprofitable per month.
Choosing a prep centre on price
Location relative to the fulfilment centre, receiving speed and error rate cost more than the per-unit fee saves.
Running out of cash while profitable
Stock is paid for months before it sells. Growth and cash flow pull in opposite directions until you plan for it.
Operations
Sourcing decision, landed cost, listing, replenishment.
The blueprint runs the full sequence: product selection criteria, supplier qualification, the landed-cost model, listing construction, launch, and the replenishment maths that keeps stock in place without burying cash in it.
Written as an operator's manual — the decisions and their reasoning, not motivation.
Job economics
The workbook is where the answer comes from.
Thirty-eight sheets: product scorecard, landed cost, RFQ comparison, fee modelling, cash-flow projection and the replenishment calculator. You put your numbers in and it tells you whether the product survives the fee stack.
The sheets do the arithmetic. They cannot tell you whether the supplier is honest — that is what the qualification chapters are for.
Miles' Reality Check
Things to consider before you start.
Know before you start
This is a capital business. Stock is bought before it sells, and the first cycle is the one that hurts. Start smaller than feels satisfying.
Hidden cost
Fees and storage move, and long-term storage charges arrive exactly when a product is not selling. Model the cost of being wrong, not just the cost of being right.
Good fit / bad fit
A good fit if you want a product business with real numbers behind it. A poor fit if you want something with no inventory risk — brokering or services suit that better.

Questions
Before you buy.
Is this about retail arbitrage?
No. It is built around sourcing products deliberately, modelling landed cost and fees before committing, and replenishing on numbers rather than instinct.
Do I need capital to start?
Yes. Stock is paid for before it sells. The workbook models exactly how much and when, which is the point of it — so you find out before you commit, not after.
Does it cover fees accurately?
It models the fee structure and gives you the sheets to run your own numbers. Amazon changes its rates; verify current figures in Seller Central before you rely on any model output.
Is there software to install?
No. Word documents and Excel workbooks, plus an offline dashboard page that indexes them. Nothing to install, no account, no subscription.
How is this different from the Walmart Blueprint?
Different marketplace, different economics and different failure modes. Running Walmart as a copy of an Amazon setup is the most common way sellers lose money there. The two systems are sold separately.
