    Buy a clothing drop

    Grab a limited release the moment it goes live, card already on file.

    Try sendingThe [brand] drop goes live at 10am. Buy the [item] in size [M] the moment it opens, with my vaulted card. Ping me when it is confirmed.

    Reorder a product and stop before paying

    Find the item, get it to checkout, and hold with nothing charged.

    Try sendingOrder two 12oz bags of Stumptown Hair Bender to my address. Get it to checkout and stop before paying so I can approve.

    The benchmark's purchasing test; most assistants stall at a login or at checkout.

Ranked by upvotes, hands-on tests, how many assistants people report doing the job, and engagement on the posts; newer jobs get a small lift. Founder and vendor posts are left out. The scorecard, not this page, is the benchmark.
