    The reality

    75–80% of CPG launches fail in year one.

    Not because the product was bad — but because the launch was misaligned. Wrong audience, wrong price, wrong channel, weak differentiation. It's the same trap whether you're a founder launching a brand from zero or an established team adding a new SKU to the portfolio — the cost of finding out late is brutal.

    Pricing misjudged

    Set too high, you stall. Too low, you burn margin and brand.

    Wrong channel first

    DTC vs retail vs wholesale — pick wrong and CAC kills you.

    Weak differentiation

    If shoppers can't say why you, in 5 seconds, you're invisible.
