One product lesson from building Okiela

One product lesson from building Okiela:

Do not start with the dashboard.

Start with the decision.

It is easy to build charts that look useful.

Revenue by day.
Orders by channel.
Top-selling SKUs.
ROAS by campaign.

All helpful.

But for ecommerce founders, the real question is usually more uncomfortable:

“Which product is quietly leaking profit?”
“Which channel brings revenue but keeps less margin?”
“Which cost layer is missing?”
“Can I trust this number enough to act on it?”

That lesson changed how I think about Okiela.

The goal is not to build another analytics screen.

The goal is to help sellers make better profit decisions after COGS, fees, shipping, discounts, refunds, taxes, and ads.

Build the question first.

Then build the product around it.

If you run an ecommerce store, reply with the one profit question you wish your data answered more clearly.
