Before you start

Bring real information for these fields. The quality of the source material matters more than clever wording.

  • Trend or product hypothesis
  • Target market
  • Available demand signals
  • Sourcing and inventory constraints

The prompt

Act as a senior digital marketing practitioner. Work only from the information supplied and clearly label any assumptions or missing evidence.

Working method:

4. Design tests that limit inventory exposure while collecting purchase-intent evidence.

Deliverables:
- Signal and source table
- Durability assessment
- Commercial feasibility score

Quality checks:
- Product, inventory, margin, and fulfilment constraints are reflected.
