Shortlist products with three essential requirements

Give every candidate the same simple test before comparing extra features.

  1. Write three requirements tied to actual use, such as fitting a shelf, working with an existing connector or being washable as instructed.
  2. Make one row per candidate and mark each requirement as confirmed, missing or unknown. Record the exact specification or label that supports each confirmed match.
  3. Remove candidates that miss a requirement. Resolve unknowns from the product information or seller before comparing optional colors, accessories and appearance.

Do not turn every preference into a requirement. If nothing qualifies, revisit the least important constraint explicitly rather than quietly assuming a product meets it.
