Trend runway · remaining relevance

About 2.1 years Estimated time until the WBC Trend Score falls below the 15-point activity cut-off if no new positive evidence appears. Next modeled step: 45 → 44 around Nov 2026. A conditional baseline based on WBC's decay model, not a demand forecast.

Outlook

Commercial outlook

Commercially, restaurant operators, chefs, foodservice suppliers and hospitality strategists should look first at Reach and Market Impact. The current profile supports selective experimentation, with expansion dependent on repeat demand rather than launch attention alone. The resulting assessment is Balanced Opportunity: Visibility and commercial potential are developing at a similar level.

The next evidence to watch is meaningful format innovation that goes beyond cosmetic extensions of familiar products. If that improves and the total score rises across more than one assessment, the case for expansion gets stronger. Without fresh positive evidence, the current trajectory points to gradual decline; the conditional runway is shown above.
