This course covers the costing considerations unique to this phase, from production actuals and marketing expenditure to licensing agreements and partnership costs. You’ll develop the financial oversight skills to monitor spending accurately, compare outcomes against initial projections, and ensure your product launch stays on track for long-term profitability.

Learning Objectives
Protect margins at launch by using commercialization-stage costing to confirm the product is profitable at real scale, not just on paper.
Manage commercialization costs with control by building a costing plan that tracks final specs, supplier pricing, yields, labour, overhead, freight, and packaging as you move into production.
Apply generally accepted good practices by locking assumptions with version control, validating costs with pilot/first runs, monitoring variances vs. targets, updating for MOQ and scale effects, and building contingency for waste, downtime, and market changes.
Support better go-to-market decisions by using costing to set pricing, discount limits, and volume targets while preventing margin erosion after launch.
