What the math says
The math is fine for a small creator test. The page and video should explain fit limits instead of implying it works everywhere.
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 installation on a door.
- Explain door and latch fit limits.
- Avoid fear-heavy claims that overpromise safety.
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.
