tax

Tax matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around protecting checkout revenue and order operations, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Stores lose money when checkout, payment, shipping, or order flows fail silently. The entry wedge is to monitor checkout-critical paths, flag revenue-impacting issues, and produce fix-ready diagnostics.

Build a checkout and revenue assurance plugin for store owners and WooCommerce agencies: Stores lose money when checkout, payment, shipping, or order flows fail silently. The first wedge is to monitor checkout-critical paths, flag revenue-impacting issues, and produce fix-ready diagnostics.

The unmet need is not the individual complaint. It is the recurring business workflow: Stores lose money when checkout, payment, shipping, or order flows fail silently. Current stage: commercial plugin opportunity.
