Scenario Notes (optional)

Use this before launching promotions to confirm whether conversion lift assumptions can offset lower unit profit.

  • Evaluating discount impact only at revenue level, not contribution level.
  • Ignoring payment fee effects when selling price changes.
  • Treating all discounted orders as incremental demand.

Example: If a 15% discount reduces per-unit profit by 5.70 USD, you need enough incremental unit volume to recover that gap before considering campaign overhead.
