Minimum Daily Profit Benchmark (Product Go/No-Go Threshold)

Before committing team time to designing, developing, launching, and managing a new product, weigh the achievable daily profit against a minimum bar — roughly $150-$250 profit per day, though the exact number shifts with the seller's size and stage. Below this line, a product isn't worth the operational lift regardless of how clean its keyword ecosystem looks.

The number to test against this bar comes out of the top-seller keyword matrix: aggregate page-one ranking coverage against competitor sales estimates to project achievable daily units, multiply by margin, and compare to the benchmark.
