Name the job before the product
A product can feel new while duplicating an owned role. Write down the category, finish, coverage, base, variant, occasion, or problem you expect it to solve. Missing information should produce a wait or sample decision, not a confident buy.
Compare against use and outcomes
An owned item is not a useful alternative merely because it shares a category. Check whether it was used, whether it worked in a similar whole look, and whether it is idle for a reason. Similarity is a prompt for review, not a universal dupe claim.
- Open the matching Passport category.
- Review current status and real uses.
- Look for a known-good combination or a recorded failure.
- Change one variable if a gap is still uncertain.
Count an avoided purchase only when it happened
If the Passport genuinely changed the decision, record the avoided duplicate purchase. That explicit event can appear in Beauty Payback. A product page view, wait verdict, or abandoned cart is not automatically a saving.
Make it personal without guessing
Add an owned product and record a real outcome. MakeupCast can use that private history later without publishing it as market evidence.
