Brief checklist
- Which small-dose format are customers using today?
- Is the pain point breakage, low sample perception, messy application, travel inconvenience or weak trial conversion?
- Which launch use case matters most: trial kit, GWP, travel set, clinic/spa sample, private label or channel-exclusive SKU?
- What fill volume should the pilot test?
- What result would justify a larger commercial run after the pilot?
