Sample a 316L 32oz with our existing supplier — confirm whether the premium positioning supports a $40-55 price point.

Rationale

316L is the only resilient material trend (slope +0.001) with confidence 0.88. Operator strategy explicitly targets 316L; question is whether retail ladder works.

Expected outcome

Receive 50 samples within 6 weeks; submit to a 20-person pre-order test panel; decide go/no-go on a Q4 launch.
