Community Voices

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

“I can't tell which platform actually makes profit after COGS”
“ROAS hides too much”
“both facebook and google will show you 'clean' ROAS, but they don't really account for your real costs”
“The tricky part is COGS and shipping vary by product. If your catalog is complex, you need per-SKU data mapped to order line items.”
“what you're running into is basically the gap between platform reporting and actual business metrics”
“comparing two separate dashboards that don't agree with each other”
