Grocery delivery: how does a fast-growing brand stay one brand?

Introduction

Who the founder is and what the business does. The core tension, stated in one sentence, and why it mattered at that moment.¹

The research question: what had to change, for whom, and how we would know it worked.

A founder quote that captures the tension in their own words, kept as they said it.

Discussion

What we learned, what did not work, the limits of this project, and what we would do differently.

1. Write the tension as a sentence the founder would recognise. ↩︎
2. State sample sizes and dates, e.g. 12 interviews, March 2026. ↩︎
3. Report the measurement period and source for every figure. ↩︎
