01The opportunity

The problem, as people describe it

DTC brands on WooCommerce with 30+ daily orders face guaranteed month-long stockouts during peak season because native low-stock alerts ignore 3-4 week factory lead times. Operators manually calculate daily sales velocity versus lead times in Google Sheets for top SKUs each week, a process that breaks down at scale and costs revenue.

The demand side is documented on this page — 1 first-hand Reddit report scored 100/100 for commercial intent — while the build side (MVP scope, suggested pricing, named competitors, risks) is what the dossier adds.
