Solstice: The Automated Financial Watchtower
An automated workflow system for freelancers and small businesses that predicts cash flow 'nightfalls' based on payment data and triggers pre-emptive actions to ensure financial survival.
The Mos Eisley Deck
An automated workflow platform for e-commerce sellers that acts as an intelligence 'droid', scanning digital marketplaces for strategic product opportunities and market gaps, not just simple price changes.
The Mos Eisley Deck is a workflow automation tool inspired by the data-hacking of 'Neuromancer' and the underdog smuggling operations of 'Star Wars'. It's designed for the 'console cowboys' of modern e-commerce: dropshippers, FBA sellers, and niche brand owners who need an edge against corporate 'Empires' like Amazon. This isn't just a price scraper; it's a strategic opportunity engine.
The Concept:
The user isn't just a seller; they are a 'freelance operative' or 'information smuggler'. The platform, their 'Deck', is their interface to the chaotic 'cyberspace' of online commerce. Instead of just tracking prices, they launch automated 'Bounties'—highly specific, intelligent search missions designed to uncover market weaknesses and profitable ventures, much like finding the thermal exhaust port on the Death Star.
How It Works:
The user logs into their Deck and defines a Bounty using a simple, powerful interface. The platform then dispatches its 'probe droids' (specialized web scrapers and data analysis agents) to execute the mission. The workflow is entirely automated, turning hours of manual research into a background task.
Examples of 'Bounties':
1. 'The Ghost in the Aisle' Bounty: Finds products with high sales velocity (e.g., a good Best Sellers Rank on Amazon) but with critically flawed listings (e.g., poor quality photos, keyword-deficient titles, very few reviews). This presents a clear opportunity for a private label seller to launch a superior competing product.
2. 'The Kessel Run' Bounty: Tracks products on sourcing sites like Alibaba and cross-references them with listings on consumer marketplaces (Amazon, Etsy). It identifies emerging arbitrage opportunities where the supply-chain-to-marketplace price gap exceeds a user-defined profit margin, automating the core workflow of a dropshipper.
3. 'The Echo Base' Bounty: Scans niche communities (like specific subreddits, forums, or Facebook groups) for recurring phrases like 'I wish someone would make...' or 'Has anyone found a...'. It then cross-references these identified needs with existing market offerings to pinpoint genuine, untapped gaps in the market.
Results are delivered not as raw spreadsheets, but as actionable 'intelligence briefings' in the user's dashboard, with clear data visualizations and next-step recommendations. This transforms the tedious workflow of market research into an exciting, automated hunt for high-value targets.
