Functional food brand — the leak shape
Functional food brands ride the routine-adoption curve. Replenishment + subscription are the entire model. Typical recoverable revenue band: $40,000 to $400,000/year per operator depending on scale and current operational maturity.

We engineer the trigger, the cadence, and the measurement so the leak closes and stays closed.
