Understand what this lesson solves
Use one decision sheet to combine demand signals, the purchase path, pricing and fulfillment, risk, and ownership before choosing a limited test, evidence collection, or a hold.
Start with the first new country, then connect language, pricing, fulfillment, acquisition, and review in one verifiable expansion process.
Lesson outline
- 1Reduce the candidate market to a checkable scope
- 2Record opportunity signals separately from purchase readiness
- 3State what the next 30 days must prove
- 4Choose between a limited test, more evidence, and a hold
- 5Compare ready markets and choose the first test
- 6Leave the market-priority record and set the review
Public core framework
- Write the country, SKU, target address, current entry, and owner. Check one market in the first pass instead of mixing currencies, delivery areas, and inventory conditions in one row.
- Opportunity signals can come from orders, visits, support, ads, or relative interest. Purchase readiness must return to availability, target address, shipping, cart, checkout, and confirmation. A trend or storefront display cannot replace the path.
