Inventory turns eased to 6.3x from 6.9x — the container that cleared customs early pushed DIO to 58 days and ~$96K of cash is in stock ahead of the planned launch. Turns are still healthy for DTC, but the pre-buy moved cash three weeks earlier than modelled.
01 · Executive summary
Three conclusions, and the decisions they imply
- Inventory turns eased to 6.3x from 6.9x — the container that cleared customs early pushed DIO to 58 days and ~$96K of cash is in stock ahead of the planned launch. Turns are still healthy for DTC, but the pre-buy moved cash three weeks earlier than modelled.
- Blended CAC rose to $31.50 from $28.20 — the Meta CPM step-up and a softer creative cycle lifted acquisition cost. The worker scored it iOS-attribution noise; the supervisor saw a sustained CPM trend, so it routed to your inbox to decide on the budget mix.
- Orders held at 14,300 vs the 13,800 plan — the post-purchase email flow lifted the repeat-purchase rate to 37% and the bundle offer raised AOV without extra ad spend, so contribution margin rose on flat acquisition cost.
