Nine SKU-store pairs cross the predicted-zero threshold inside 48 hours. Store 22 produce is the most urgent.
forecast.daily | Lettuce at Store 22: 84 units/day against 38 on hand, zero by 11a Thursday |
|---|---|
supplier.lead | Regional DC lead time 18 hours, no sufficient PO already in transit |
Vendor C billed above the active price list. The overage is recoverable.

|---|---|
dispute.amount | $0.16 per unit, $192 total, classified as off-contract pricing |
Three stores in the ten-store cluster breach the 2% threshold on one SKU. The cause is upstream, not theft.

|---|---|
delivery.defect | All three take delivery from the same lane, defect rate 4.8% above goal |
Ranked on GMROI and velocity together, not units alone, so profitable slow movers survive the cut.

|---|---|
assortment.gap | 31 SKUs selling in the urban cluster are unstocked in a demographically matched cluster |
