Run an overseas store for 72 hours and make $1,000

Interrogate my launch-week sales through AI and find the waitlist effect

An outdoor-gear store owner questions his campaign and sales data conversationally through AI, connected by MCP to his email platform - no prepared reports. Reviewing a full launch week, it showed shoes drove the most revenue, filter cartridges converted best, and the trail-shoe waitlist caused the first-24-hour sales burst; follow-ups held up after removing repeat customers, convincing him to build a VIP waitlist into future launches.
