What This Assessment Measures

Evaluates product price point and margin adequacy for D2C unit economics, website and payment gateway readiness, digital marketing capability and CAC estimation, retention and repeat purchase potential, and logistics and returns management.

Why It Matters

D2C unit economics fail when CAC exceeds LTV — which happens when the product price is too low, the repeat purchase rate is low, or digital marketing CAC is too high for the margin. This assessment prevents the most common D2C failure mode.

Assessment Framework / The 6 Dimensions

Scored across 6 critical dimensions.

01

Price point and margin — sufficient gross margin to absorb D2C-specific costs

02

Website and UX — Shopify/WooCommerce setup, mobile optimisation, trust signals

03

Payment gateway — Razorpay/PayU/Cashfree integration, COD management

04

Digital marketing — Meta and Google ad capability, content readiness

05

Retention mechanics — email/WhatsApp, loyalty, repeat purchase triggers

06

Logistics and returns — last-mile partner, return rate management, cash flow

Score Interpretation / What Your Score Means

Three outcome ranges — each with a clear next action.

75–100

D2C ready

Your product and systems are D2C-viable. Launch with a focused test budget to validate CAC before scaling.

50–74

Partially ready

Product and margin may be viable but digital marketing or logistics gaps exist. Specific fixes identified.

0–49

D2C viability unclear

Unit economics or operational readiness gaps suggest D2C may not be the right channel yet. Marketplace-first approach recommended.
