TikTok Shop Units-Sold as a Demand Proxy

Browsing TikTok Shop and reading the units-sold counter displayed on trending listings as a real-world data point for whether a product category has proven demand, independent of Amazon's own search/sales signals.

Distinct from 'TikTokable' Product Screening Criterion, which screens whether a product's format suits TikTok-native content/virality — this instead uses TikTok Shop as a second, cross-platform demand-validation data source, the same role Google Trends plays in Seasonality Check via Historical Sales Data & Google Trends.
