The question is not “can it sell?”

Can the economics survive reality?

A launch can look profitable on paper and still fail because too much cash is trapped in inventory, acquisition costs rise, returns compress margin, or one weak month empties the bank account.

01

Unit economics

See what one order actually contributes after product cost, payment fees, shipping and expected returns.

02

Inventory exposure

Measure how much cash is committed before a single customer order arrives.

03

Acquisition pressure

Find the maximum marketing spend your economics can support before growth starts destroying value.

04

Downside survival

Stress the business against weaker sales, higher acquisition costs, more returns and a genuinely bad month.

How the Brand Death Test works

A decision, not a dashboard.

01

Enter the real numbers

Price, landed cost, inventory, shipping, returns, marketing, fixed costs and available cash.

02

Stress the launch

BRAND//SIM runs the same financial model across the baseline and four fixed downside scenarios.

03

Get a decision

See the verdict, the reason behind it and the exact financial levers that can improve the outcome.

Before you commit the cash

Test the business.

Put the assumptions through the numbers before inventory, ads and fixed costs turn them into irreversible decisions.
