One SKU pivot: the product they killed to save the brand

A 4-beat faceless video outline for “One SKU pivot: the product they killed to save the brand” in the Small business case studies niche, derived from caption timing of 2 reference videos.

Angles

• Frame the episode as one SKU decision inside a larger case (market-share or lean-startup references)
• Show the kill list: what they stopped selling to protect the core
• Lean loop beat: build → measure → pivot without romanticizing failure
• Close on a reusable scorecard for founders considering a cut

Beat-by-beat structure

1. Hook (0:00–0:30): a catalog with 40 SKUs and a dying margin — promise the cut that saved focus.
2. Case spine (0:30–2:30): origin → overcrowded lineup → the one product that carried demand.
3. Pivot mechanics (2:30–5:00): evidence that forced the kill; what lean feedback looked like.
4. Scorecard + recap: margin, repeat purchase, ops complexity. Not investment advice. Original narration only.
