DECIDE: does the pack ladder survive?

What to do
Does the pack ladder survive?
Why
THE strategic FORK. Everything else stops the bleeding; this is the only item that can make Chase profitable rather than merely less unprofitable. THE arithmetic TO decide against: last clean month net -$1,645.48 on $3,966.40 sales, -41.5% margin. Amazon fees take 67.97% of every sales dollar before advertising. No money figure is on file for it. It is 59 day(s) past its ClickUp due date.

The detail

Original wording: DECIDE: does the pack ladder survive?

THE STRATEGIC FORK. Everything else stops the bleeding; this is the only item that can make Chase profitable rather than merely less unprofitable. THE ARITHMETIC TO DECIDE AGAINST: last clean month (2026-06-29..07-29) net -$1,645.48 on $3,966.40 sales, -41.5% margin. Amazon fees take 67.97% of every sales dollar BEFORE advertising; Amazon’s own payout on $3,884 of sales was -$78.90, negative before a cent of COGS. Full ad discipline (pauses + bid floors + negatives) reaches -$360 to -$740/month on a ~$2,200-$2,400/mo account, ~40% smaller. Advertising discipline does not fix this account. OPTIONS: (a) kill the 55-packs, lead with the 105-packs <- the 8x10 evidence points here
