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.
