The offer may speak to a broad audience instead of a reachable buyer.
Risk
Business idea risk assessment before launch spend.
Risk is not a reason to freeze. It is a reason to decide what must be true before the next spend makes sense.

- Buyer risk
- Demand risk
- Revenue logic risk
- Operating constraint risk
- Launch-spend risk
