DTC and Shopify operators kill more good products by launching bad ones than by anything else. The "we'll just see how it does" launch eats six weeks of inventory cash, two paid-ads tests, an email send to your hottest list, and the team's morale — all to learn something you could have learned in 30 minutes of structured analysis. This template is the structured analysis. You feed it the product concept, your target segments, the competitive landscape, and your price strategy; it returns a go / no-go / pivot recommendation with the four or five highest-leverage things to validate before you commit inventory.
