General small business checklist (not specific advice for this thread):
- Define the problem in numbers: revenue, margin, cash runway, customer count.
- Talk directly to customers (or lost customers) to find the real cause.
- Fix cash flow first: invoice promptly, chase receivables, cut non-essential spend.
