What we are still watching

The open questions, monitored signals, and tensions behind the conclusions above. Not everything here is a conclusion.

Conflicting evidence
  • Creator conversation around flavoured makhana is rising.

Open question
  • Is creator-driven discovery converting to trial, or just impressions?
  • Which creator tier offers the most efficient discovery for the brand?
