What this leaves out
- The data is made up. Real mentions come from a social listening feed, real units from the marketplace.
- No seasonality. A toy demo that ignores Christmas is a demo, not a buying system.
- No supplier lead time or safety stock — the 8-week cover is a flat assumption.
- The three weights and two thresholds are judgement calls, meant to be argued with.
