What to do with a product that almost works

The clear winners and clear losers are easy. Everything else sits here.

Establish which constraint it is

  • Conversion rate too low → page, price or offer.
  • CPC too high → relevance or auction competitiveness.
  • AOV too low → bundles, thresholds, upsells.

Then try one change

Marginal products fail because people change everything at once and never learn which lever mattered.

And set a deadline

Decide in advance what result, by when, keeps it alive. Without that, marginal products absorb budget indefinitely because nobody wants to make the call.
