Validated findings only — each entry is tied to the incidents and simulations that produced it, and to the realized outcome that confirmed it.
Availability disruptions are often mistaken for demand weakness
StrongThree regional forecast misses were materially reduced once on-shelf availability was included in the diagnosis rather than treated as a demand signal.
Promotion extensions have diminishing returns
StrongIncremental volume from additional promotion weeks weakened materially after the first extension across four retailer clusters.
Weather can explain temporary anomalies without requiring action
ModerateShort-duration demand changes tied to regional weather returned to baseline within two weeks in every observed case.
Promotion timing differs by retailer cluster
ModerateThe same promotional calendar generated uplift ranging from +3.1% to +9.4% across retailer groups in the same region.
Distribution recovery can outperform deeper discounting
StrongRestoring availability produced stronger margin economics than increasing promotional depth in every comparable prior incident.
Discount depth above 15% is margin-dilutive in frozen
StrongVolume continues to respond above 15% depth, but incremental margin turns negative for the frozen portfolio.
Club requires sell-in and sell-out separation
StrongModeling club shipments as sell-out introduced a persistent positive bias in the baseline.
