Untapped Value Creation

Subscription Layer: No current premium tier; a €1.99/mo subscription for 5% of MAU would generate massive recurring revenue.
Ad Mediation: Transitioning to a mediated environment (e.g., AppLovin MAX) to increase eCPMs via demand competition.
Data Products: Packaging daily scan events for retail analytics and AdTech targeting.
