What the math says

This is one of the cleaner small-ticket examples. It still needs a tight ad cap because a cheap product can lose money fast when paid traffic gets noisy.

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.
