Can you trust the numbers in Printful?
Printful is a print-on-demand and dropshipping service that prints a seller's designs on products and ships them to the seller's customers.

Where do these answers come from?

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
