03 / OUR APPROACH
Know where your
numbers come from.
Publishing tools are only useful when you understand their limits. We show our sources, label our estimates, and keep KDP’s guidelines in view.
Your inputs. Published sources.
Every tool calculates from what you provide and published guidelines or price tables. Nothing is fetched from Amazon.
Guidance, not guarantees.
We flag names, trademarks, and prohibited claims. You review the suggestions before publishing.

A FEW PRACTICAL DETAILS
Before you begin.
Do I need an AI assistant?
No. Keyword boxes, royalty calculations, and sales rank estimates are available here as free web tools. Connect an assistant to use the full toolkit in a conversation.
Which marketplaces are supported?
The calculators support the stores listed in each tool. Keyword boxes and listing checks use the phrases and metadata you provide; they do not retrieve Amazon data.
Can I rely on the compliance checks?
The checks flag issues against published KDP guidelines and provide sources. They cannot guarantee compliance; always review your final metadata before publishing.
