Trend runway · remaining relevance

About 7 months Estimated time until the WBC Trend Score falls below the 15-point activity cut-off if no new positive evidence appears. Next modeled step: 31 → 30 around Nov 2026. A conditional baseline based on WBC's decay model, not a demand forecast.

Outlook

Commercial outlook

Commercially, beverage developers, drinks brands, operators, retailers and ingredient suppliers should look first at Reach and Market Impact. At these levels, the case for wide distribution is not there yet. A limited edition, seasonal activation or tightly scoped category test fits the evidence better. The resulting assessment is Limited Commercial Signal: Commercial potential remains confined to narrow or activation-led use cases.

What would move the needle: wider distribution, recurring launches and visibility beyond specialist or novelty-driven audiences. Improvement there, followed by a higher total score in more than one assessment, would strengthen the case for expansion. Without fresh positive evidence, the current trajectory points to gradual decline; the conditional runway is shown above.
