01The opportunity

The problem, as people describe it

Growing Shopify merchants cannot get true net profit, contribution margin, or refund-adjusted weekly numbers out of native analytics, so they rebuild it by hand: Monday mornings become hours of exporting CSVs, matching blended ad spend, and updating pivot tables before any inventory or marketing decision. Distrusted numbers lead directly to over-ordering stock and overspending on ads. Refunds processed weeks later distort the wrong day's numbers, and repeat-purchase behavior cannot be segmented by first-order discount code or landing page without yet more manual exports.

What is missing

What is missing is the product on the supply side: a tool built for the complaint above, from users in shopify unit economics and profit reporting. The demand side is documented on this page — 1 first-hand Reddit report scored 80/100 for commercial intent — while the build side (MVP scope, suggested pricing, named competitors, risks) is what the dossier adds.
