If any of these sounds familiar, this quiz is for you
- "I think my product is ready but I honestly don't know what a buyer needs to see."
- "I don't know if my shelf life is good enough- or what would happen if a retailer asked for documentation."
- 'I've been working on this for years... why does retail still feel so far away?"
- "I'm overwhelmed trying to figure out co-mans, labels, pricing, and pitching — all at the same time."

How it works
-
Answer 15 Questions (about 5 Minutes)
These questions are built on the ETS Method Framework, developed over 12 years inside the food industry and 5 years working directly with food founders preparing for retail.
2. Get your stage result instantly
Your answers are scored across three stages:
- Evaluate (Evaluate & engineer a shelf-ready product)
- Transform (Prepare for partners and production)
- Scale (Expand with confidence)
3. Walk away with a clear next step- not just a score
You’ll get a personalized result with specific focus areas and the next best step to move you closer to a retail shelf.

Take the first step toward scaling your better-for-you food product today!
What you will know after 5 minutes
-
Whether your product is truly shelf ready- formulation consistency, shelf life confidence, and the documentation retailers expect
-
Whether your packaging, label, and claims are retail-compliant (or likely to trigger questions that stall a “yes”)
-
Whether your COGS + pricing structurally sound for wholesale-so promos and retailer margins don't quietly erase your profit
-
Whether your manufacturing + operations can support retail demand (co-man readiness, food safety plan, distribution/logistics)
-
Your exact ETS stage (Evaluate, Transform, or Scale)- plus a clear, personalized next step to move forward immediately.

I'm Jacinta Kemboi, a food scientist and founder of Cama R&D Consulting.
I spent 12 years inside the food industry working on product development, shelf life validation, food safety, and commercialization across multiple categories.. For the last 5 years, I've brought that experience directly to food founder - helping them close the gap between a great product and a retail shelf.
The ETS Method and this quiz were built from everything I have seen work — and what I've seen fail.
