Subscription & Replenishment Kit
A subscription is not a discount with a calendar attached — it is a promise to arrive before the jar is empty.
What it is
Turns "we should do subscriptions" into a programme with arithmetic under it. Tests which products genuinely deplete and how fast, sets cadence from consumption rather than from a billing calendar, sizes the incentive against the margin it protects, builds the pause-skip-swap and dunning mechanics that decide month three, and installs the cohort read that separates growth from a discount handed to people who were already buying. For ecommerce owners, DTC operators and retailers with a repeat product.
What you receive
a subscription or replenishment programme built from your own reorder data — the products and cadences that survive a consumption test, the incentive sized against contribution rather than list price, the pause, skip and swap mechanics that turn cancellations into deferrals, the failed-payment recovery ladder, and the cohort read with the kill criteria that says whether the programme earns its place
