    Note on Capital Planning

    Actual pilot investment varies based on existing brand awareness, regulatory requirements, distributor payment discipline, and co-packing minimum order quantities (MOQs).

    Model assumptions: execution ₹1,800 per store per month for 3 months; POSM ₹350 per store; 18 units per store and two stock turns; production cost 35% of MRP; trade allowance 12% of one opening stock allocation at MRP; credit buffer 40% of stock production cost. Taxes, freight, platform fees and paid media are not separately included. Stock and credit buffers represent capital allocation, not necessarily expense; this is not a cash-flow forecast.
