    Should you carry this product?

    Executive carry-fit analysis for product, market, margin, and channel readiness.

    What it evaluates

    Product Merit

    Technical quality, differentiation, performance data, and real-world reliability.

    Market Need

    Demand signals, code drivers, contractor pull-through, and category momentum.

    Commercial Viability

    Margin structure, landed cost, pricing power, and competitive positioning.

    Channel Readiness

    Rep coverage, marketing support, lead times, training, and operational burden.

    A good product is not always a good carry.

    A product can be technically excellent and still be the wrong line to carry because of poor demand, weak manufacturer support, bad operational fit, or margin that does not justify the burden. This tool separates product quality from carry quality so you make decisions with structure, not instinct alone.
