Methodology
Auction Compass helps sellers make better weekly timing decisions by turning public marketplace signals into a cleaner weekly slot view.
The focus is simple: public viewership patterns, competition pressure, promotion timing, and a clearer way to choose a weekly slot with more confidence.

1. Problem
Most sellers can tell you when they are available to stream. That is not the same thing as knowing whether that slot is working for them.
Auction Compass tries to turn public weekly marketplace patterns into a clearer weekly decision so sellers can separate a convenient slot from a stronger slot.

2. Public viewership patterns
Auction Compass looks at public Whatnot viewership patterns across the week to see where attention appears lighter, steadier, or more competitive.
The goal is to give sellers a cleaner weekly read without claiming private marketplace access or guaranteed outcomes.
Competition pressure
3. Competition pressure
A time window can look active and still be a bad decision if competition is already stacked. Pressure matters because crowded windows are harder to win.
Auction Compass adds that pressure context so sellers can see when a slot looks more open and when it looks heavy.
Promote
Tue 8 PM ET
Opportunity is open and spend has room to help.
Hold spend
Sat 6 PM ET
Pressure is already stacked, so timing is working against you.
4. Promotion timing
Promotion spend usually works better when timing is already on your side. It is harder for paid promotion to rescue a window that is already crowded.
That is why Auction Compass calls out when to push harder and when to hold spend instead of forcing promotion into every slot.

5. Weekly slot view
The weekly view is meant to help you choose a slot with more confidence, not flood you with noise.
Use it to spot stronger windows to prioritize, weaker windows to avoid, and the moments where promotion timing has a better chance to help.
6. Best fit
Auction Compass is best for active Whatnot sellers who want practical weekly timing guidance and who may have to work around a limited schedule.
7. Limitations
It does not guarantee sales, control marketplace changes, replace product quality, or remove the need for strong show execution. It is guidance for timing decisions.
8. Independence
Auction Compass is an independent product. It is not affiliated with Whatnot or any other marketplace.
