Integration details

Description

DTC Deal Index answers questions about consumer brands from the trackers Taylor Sicard Consulting publishes at taylorsicard.com/the-index. Ask who bought a brand and when, which acquirers are most active, what a public consumer company reported last quarter, or what welcome offer a DTC brand shows first-time visitors. Every deal row links to the tracker page it came from. It also runs six of the site's calculators (break-even ROAS, max allowable CAC, free shipping threshold, LTV from repeat rate, landed cost and Shopify Plus total cost) with the same formulas as the web versions, plus an on-page audit of a store's homepage. All 13 tools are read-only and need no sign-in. Coverage is consumer and DTC brands. Deal data refreshes as the trackers publish, so a deal announced in the last day or two may not be there yet.

Tools

13 tools agents can invoke

Runs the Shopify Store Audit's on-page checks against a live store: technical foundation, search visibility, AI search visibility (robots, llms.txt, structured data), conversion and merchandising, and trust (returns window, contact, policy pages), plus one product page. Returns a 0-100 score per pillar and overall, every check with its result and explanation, the platform, detected apps and theme, and the median score of benchmarked stores. Works on any public store; built for Shopify. Takes 5 to 20 seconds.
audit_store_homepage
Works out the blended ROAS at which a DTC brand's ads stop losing money (1 divided by contribution margin), the ROAS needed to keep a chosen share of ad-driven revenue as profit, and the LTV-adjusted break-even when repeat orders finish the payback. Scores the brand's current blended ROAS against all three. Same model as https://taylorsicard.com/tools/break-even-roas.
calculate_break_even_roas
Recommends a free-shipping threshold for an online store from its average order value, gross margin and cost to ship an order, and scores the current threshold if one is given. Same model as https://taylorsicard.com/tools/free-shipping-threshold.
calculate_free_shipping_threshold
Returns the welcome popup a DTC brand showed a first-time visitor in the capture: the offer (for example 15% off, free gift, spin to win), what the first pane asks for (email field, quiz, yes/no gate), trigger and delay, vendor, headline and, for top-of-market brands, the full popup text on desktop and mobile. Also reports brands that showed no popup. Look up by brand name or domain.
get_brand_welcome_offer
Every recorded acquisition, funding round, stake, shutdown or distress event for one consumer brand, newest first, plus the most recent recorded acquirer. If the name matches several brands, returns the candidates instead.
get_brand_deal_history
With an acquirer name: the consumer brands that buyer acquired, took a stake in or licensed, with dates, categories and disclosed values. Without a name: the most active buyers, ranked by distinct deals, limited to buyers with two or more deals in the year range. Deals logged at announcement and again at completion count once.
get_acquirer_activity
Reported earnings for public consumer and consumer-adjacent companies tracked since 2020: fiscal period, report date, revenue, revenue growth, EPS and guidance notes. With a company name, that company's prints, newest first. Without one, the most recent prints across all companies.
get_earnings_summary
Estimates 12-month customer lifetime value in gross margin from average order value, gross margin, repeat purchase rate and order frequency among repeat buyers, benchmarks the repeat rate for the product category, and gives LTV:CAC if a CAC is supplied. Same model as https://taylorsicard.com/tools/dtc-ltv-repeat-rate.
calculate_ltv_from_repeat_rate
Works out the landed cost of one imported unit (FOB price, freight, duty and other fees) and the true gross margin left at the retail price. Same model as https://taylorsicard.com/tools/dtc-landed-cost.
calculate_landed_cost
Works out the most a DTC brand can pay to acquire a customer, as the lower of an LTV-to-CAC cap and a payback-window cap, from average order value, gross and contribution margin, lifetime orders and the payback window. Same model as https://taylorsicard.com/tools/max-allowable-cac.
calculate_max_allowable_cac
Search acquisitions, funding rounds, IPOs, shutdowns and distress events for consumer and DTC brands (beauty, food and beverage, wellness, apparel, home, pet) from 2020 to the latest snapshot. Filter by a brand, buyer or investor name, by event group, category, date range and minimum disclosed amount. Most deal values are undisclosed; a min_amount_usd filter only returns deals with a disclosed figure. Each row links to the public tracker page that lists it.
search_consumer_deals
Estimates the all-in monthly and annual cost of running on Shopify Plus: the platform fee or GMV-based variable fee, payment processing, the third-party gateway surcharge, apps, agency retainer and amortized implementation, as a share of GMV. Same model as https://taylorsicard.com/tools/shopify-plus-cost.
calculate_shopify_plus_cost
How DTC brands use welcome popups, counted from a capture of a few thousand brand homepages: the share showing a capture popup, offer types, the median percent-off, what the first pane asks for, triggers and median delay, and popup vendors. Optionally filter by offer type or vendor to get the matching brands as examples.

How do I improve DTC Deal Index's ChatGPT Plugin discoverability?

The levers are the listing surface agents actually read: names, descriptions, keywords, tool metadata, and registry health. Which lever matters depends on where discovery breaks, which is what continuous measurement shows.
