What the math says

This example has enough margin for a small seasonal test, but not enough room for sloppy returns. Keep the ad cap tight until battery complaints are known.

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.

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.
