// WHAT'S INSIDE

Everything you need, pre-wired.

Each tab in the template handles one slice of the operating model — drop in your numbers and the rest updates itself.

01

Full Waterfall by Channel

DTC, Amazon and Wholesale side by side, from gross sales through discounts, refunds, landed COGS, fulfillment, channel fees and trade spend down to contribution margin.

02

Per-Unit COGS, Not a Percentage

Landed cost is modeled per unit and multiplied by volume, so a discount looks as expensive as it really is. A percentage cost of goods hides exactly that.

03

Stops at Contribution Margin

No payroll, no rent, no brand media. Nothing that does not belong to a single channel, so channel debates stop being arguments about allocation.

04

Catches the Inversion

A channel can carry a healthy gross margin and still lose money on every order once fees and advertising are in the stack. A flag catches that case on sight.
