# Breakout player merchandise demand check

For one player. The ESPN athlete id from step 1 and the player's name carry through.

## 1. Is it a real breakout

1. Resolve with @[ESPN · Search](alexandria:espn-com/sports-data/search) and read @[ESPN · Player](alexandria:espn-com/sports-data/player) (include_statistics). Compare this season with last; a one-game spike is not a breakout.

## 2. Is the public paying attention

2. Read @[Trends · Interest over time](alexandria:firecrawl-trends/trends/interest_over_time) for the player (90 days) next to an established star at the same position for scale.
3. Read @[Trends · Interest by region](alexandria:firecrawl-trends/trends/interest_by_region) to see whether demand is local to the team market or national.
4. Check whether the player appears on the podcast sports charts with @[Particle · Entity chart edition](alexandria:particle/charts/chart) (category nfl or nba as relevant).

## 3. What is on the shelf

5. Search @[Fanatics · Search products](alexandria:fanatics-com/products/search_products) for the player's name. Count jersey and t-shirt listings and read stock on the main jersey with @[Fanatics · Get product](alexandria:fanatics-com/products/get_product); sold-out sizes show unmet demand.

## Write the recommendation

- **Breakout evidence:** key stats this season versus last.
- **Attention:** search interest versus the benchmark star, national or local, podcast chart rank.
- **Supply:** jersey listings and sizes out of stock.
- **Stocking:** skip, shallow test or deep buy, with the region to focus on.
- **Sources:** cite every figure to the capability and record it came from. Say what could not be found rather than guessing.
