01 / FIND THE SIGNAL
Good data should lead
to a better decision.
Focus on the questions your team needs answered, with evidence you can trace and actions someone can own.
Make stock work harder
Scope a separate inventory module around slow stock, replenishment, transfers, and location decisions.
Make change stick
Define owners, test approved changes, and monitor results against a reconciled baseline.
02 / START WITH A FOCUSED QUESTION
Margin & Inventory
Opportunity Review
Start small. Establish the facts. Agree what happens next.
The initial review covers one category or business unit and one primary pricing question. Inventory analysis is a separate module unless explicitly scoped.
$6,000 proposed fixed fee
Planning price, subject to sample data review and an agreed scope. No savings guarantee.
A decision-ready starting point
- A baseline reconciled to agreed financial reports
- A traceable register of exceptions and assumptions
- Prioritized recommendations with an owner and estimated impact
- A management meeting and written action plan
03 / MAKE THE NUMBERS TANGIBLE
A small gap.
A meaningful question.
This synthetic example shows dollar-for-dollar cost pass-through. It estimates gross profit exposure, not guaranteed savings or collectible revenue.
ILLUSTRATIVE GROSS PROFIT EXPOSURE$18,000
$6.00 per unit across 3,000 units.
Assumes comparable units, applicable costs, unchanged volume, and no contractual exception. Preserves gross profit dollars per unit; it does not preserve margin percentage. Human review is required.
04 / PRACTICAL ANALYTICS, HUMAN JUDGMENT
Evidence first.
AI in a supporting role.
AI can assist with candidate item matches, document extraction, and summaries. Financial calculations belong in reproducible models. Uncertain matches and recommendations need human review.
Start with a focused business question and an agreed data sample. Review the evidence, validate the commercial context, and decide which changes deserve action. Confidential client information requires agreed permissions before use with any AI service.
