What the math says
The margin leaves room for a test, but the demo has to prove fit and stability. Do not rely on a still image or a desk demo.
These are fictional planning numbers. Replace them with your supplier quote, packed shipping cost, commission plan, ad budget, and refund reserve before spending real money.
Test notes
- Show handlebar diameter fit.
- Use a real ride clip on a safe path.
- Track comments about phone size and vibration.
Run your version
If the product only works when every assumption is perfect, it is too early to scale. Run the calculator first, then put the product into a small test budget.
