PUBLIC FRAMEWORK · EARLY SELF-CHECK
Framework
What to diagnose before scaling
01
Demand Creation
Is new demand coming from relevant creative, ads, creators, affiliate, live commerce, and offer quality?
02
Marketplace Conversion
Does traffic turn into orders through product page, reviews, promo, ranking, affiliate, and stock readiness?
03
Business Economics
Are ROAS, CAC, MER, marketing cost ratio, gross margin, and repeat purchase healthy enough to scale?
04
Data Visibility
Can the team see channel, SKU, stock, promo, margin, and lead source without relying only on gut feel?
05
Execution Rhythm
Is there a review cadence, experiment backlog, owner, deadline, and consistent scale or kill decision process?
06
Retention Defense
Is the revenue baseline protected by repeat purchase, lifecycle, replenishment, bundles, and promo calendar?

Common questions
Who is this framework for?
It is for D2C or e-commerce owners and growth leads who want to check bottlenecks before choosing an agency, channel, or additional budget.
Does this framework replace an audit?
No. It helps with an early self-check. Growth Audit is still useful when a brand needs deeper diagnosis from context and data.
