Numbers aren't decisions.
Anyone can pull the OCP dashboard. The question isn't "what's the flower price?" — it's "what do I do about a $6.10/g market?" The Q3 2026 report answers eight of those questions, each grounded in primary-source data with every figure traced to its origin.
- 1. The margin math on $6.10/g flower — whether your store survives the compression, and which categories still hold margin Free sample
- 2. The saturation map — which municipalities are over-licensed and which are still open before you sign a lease
- 3. Schedule III tax exposure — what the April 2026 effective date does to your 280E burden, modeled
- 4. License-tier selection — which tier fits your capital and canopy, with fee math
- 5. The hiring cost model — what a compliant team actually costs in your region
- 6. Category mix under compression — where margin is migrating as flower falls
- 7. The municipal landscape — opt-in status and what it means for siting
- 8. Exit and valuation timing — where the market is heading and what it means for your position
How we work. Every figure in this report traces to a primary source — Maine Office of Cannabis Policy operational dashboards, Maine Revenue Services tax-filer data, and federal regulatory filings — with a retrieval date and a status label (preliminary, unaudited, filing-period-based, revisable). We don't aggregate other people's summaries. We go to the source, and we show you where. Data cutoff: July 22, 2026. This is an in-quarter edition — the best picture available now, for decisions you're making now.
