3. What happened
Live commerce created audience and order flow on Shopee. The missing layer is a first-party catalogue, RFQ and archive that still work if a marketplace changes rules.
4–5. Key points & why it matters
Live commerce created real audience and order flow on Shopee, documented in dated April 2024 coverage. The strategic gap is not more live hours. It is owning product entities, media rights and B2B routing in first-party infrastructure that still works if a marketplace changes its rules.
6–7. Relevance and business implication
