Scanned margin structure across a bunch of DTC brands this year, leak points are almost always the same

Shipping cost creep, discount stacking, and COGS that never got re-priced after a supplier increase. Those three account for most of the margin leak I see in DTC brands doing $100K+.

Built a free 90-second scan that checks your brand for these specific leaks and scores it out of 100.

Curious if others are seeing the same three, or if there's a leak point I'm missing.
