Company A hadThe biggest challenge is that, while they are e-commerce professionals, they have zero expertise in pet supplements.That's it.
- I lack expertise in pet supplements and cannot design a prescription.

- Small-batch prototyping and rapid development are difficult.
- The brand's differentiation points after entering the market are unclear.
Although they had extensive experience in e-commerce sales, their lack of expertise in product development was a barrier to entry.
