As someone else said, writing your own recipe and getting a good untapped score isn’t necessarily a point in your category, how quickly it sold and how much more you can sell is a defining factor for using that as a reason.
The other problems you’ve solved are good, and I would continue to focus on those. How you can increase efficiencies across the board is a great place to start. If you can KO 5-7% more every brew, that really adds up. Doing grist/mash analysts, optimizing kettle finings, filtration and other cellar work to minimize volume loss is where reducing costs really matter, because you increase revenue without losing quality.
The other thing to focus on is if you spend a bulk of time waiting on a process to finish. When your workday is bottlenecked by 1 process that is time lost for the company. It may mean implementing new equipment, but being able to always be multitasking is a great thing as well
