Why product shelf life defeats startup founders before they know it's running
Enzymes in cleaning products degrade over time, and warehouse humidity speeds aging regardless of whether stock is selling.

Humid warehouses age stock faster than labels assume. Retailers and customers ignore everything except the printed date.
Stock ages whether you sell it or not-unlike cash runway, this clock runs untouched.
