Risk Assessment

What It Does

The Risk tab scans for red flags that could cause problems with your dropshipping business — from unreliable suppliers to intellectual property concerns.

Key Outputs

• Risk Score — a 0-100 overall risk rating where higher means more risk; products above 60 deserve extra scrutiny
• Risk Flags — specific warnings such as price volatility, inconsistent shipping times, high return rates, IP/trademark concerns, or recent negative review spikes
• Seller Trust — a composite trust rating based on store age, transaction history, feedback score, dispute rate, and response time
• Business License — whether the seller has a verified business license on AliExpress, which affects buyer protection and reliability
• Shipping Reliability — estimated delivery time accuracy based on historical data, with warnings for sellers who frequently miss delivery windows

How to Use It

1. Open any AliExpress product page
2. Switch to the Risk tab
3. Review the Risk Score badge — green (0-30) is safe, yellow (31-60) needs review, red (61-100) is high risk
4. Scan through each Risk Flag and evaluate whether it is a deal-breaker for your business
5. Check the Seller Trust section — avoid sellers with trust ratings below 60% or store age under 6 months
6. Verify the Business License status for higher-value products

Always cross-reference risk findings with the Verdict and Profit tabs. A product can be profitable on paper but carry hidden risks that eat into your margins through refunds and disputes.
