Etsy research recovered: May 2026 evidence inventory

The workbook contains a full 1,011-row listing table, a 250-row ranked subset, 17 strict winner rows, 38 individually identified benchmark products, 30 proposed concepts across six RPS niches, and source/rights research. Keyword, phrase, product-architecture, store-performance and listing-media sheets preserve how the recommendations were derived. These are overlapping views and distinct cohorts; their row counts must not be summed into a unique-product total.

The strict-winner sheet uses a historical threshold of at least 21 reviews, rather than verified sales or current demand. Six benchmark shops underpin the full table. Qualitative witchy and vintage-gothic scans sit separately from that controlled table, and the 38 benchmark products are another comparison set. The workbook's Source Index keeps those origins distinct.

The recovered analysis highlights vintage/retro, sets and bundles, abstract/Bauhaus, botanical/floral, western/golf, and music/record themes. These are historical hypotheses for focused product tests. Custom pet/nursery produced the largest single review-count outlier; one outlier cannot validate an entire niche. Frame TV, equestrian and witchy/gothic remain possible test lanes, not established demand forecasts.

The 1,011 listing rows contain 1,005 nonempty unique listing IDs and six rows without a listing ID; the row count must not be represented as 1,011 resolved listing identities. Store Performance includes explicit exceptions to the original shop-age and sales filters. Listing Media records different currencies, so its price figures cannot be pooled without normalization. Source Pages records HTTP 403 responses for multiple market pages; Market Snippets are consequently weaker evidence than resolved product URLs. Artwork inspiration and rights-cleared source assets are separate questions, and the source/rights table is research rather than a blanket license.
