What the math says
The math is useful for a small paid test if the content proves fit. Do not hide wobble, bottle diameter, or console clearance.
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 a real bottle in a real car.
- List base diameter and bottle diameter.
- Track comments about wobble or blocked controls.
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.
