Repeatable experiences require precision and formulation discipline that looks a lot more like pharma than cannabis. And here’s why: most operators don’t treat in-house analytics as essential. But that’s the mistake. Process control isn’t optional…

They can alter your future strategy, shift your appetite for risk, and — if you’re patient — quietly set you up for success while others chase growth at any cost. As with any company, “figuring it out” is part of the job. And sometimes, that figuring it out happens faster than you’d ever hope. The challenge…
