जोखिम कारक

• Wide profit swing ($1,190 to $7,040) indicates margin instability
• Break-even uncertainty (18–101 months) increases cash-flow pressure
• High local competitive intensity (126 nearby competitors) can cap pricing power
• Lower GDP/capita ($4,516) may limit discretionary spend on premium items

कार्ययोजना

1. Run a Colombo-specific pricing and assortment test across gold, silver, and costume/jewellery to stabilize margins
2. Implement tight inventory controls (slow-mover review weekly) to reduce cash tied up in stock
3. Add high-intent services: same-day repairs, resizing, and certified appraisals to differentiate from nearby stores
4. Use local acquisition channels (WhatsApp catalog, Google Business Profile, and Facebook/Instagram promotions) to raise consistent footfall
5. Build supplier agreements for better gross margins and set a target gross margin band before scaling spend
6. Track weekly KPIs (conversion rate, average ticket, gross margin, and days-to-sell) and adjust within 30 days
