ILLUSTRATIVE PLANNING EXAMPLES

See how a planning question becomes a decision.

These are illustrative workspaces built with synthetic data. They show how ScaleSight may structure an investigation. They are not client results or client operating data.

ILLUSTRATIVE · SYNTHETIC DATA

What a reviewed planning brief can contain

Illustrative · synthetic data

Synthetic beverage example. Next production slot: 12 November. Decision owner: Brand operations.

What changed
Flavor A sold 1,200 units over four weeks; B sold 800. B was unavailable for six days.
What we checked
Total sales, availability, repeat orders, incoming supply and shared run capacity. A faster observed rate alone does not establish incremental demand.
Recommended action
Investigate B availability before increasing total volume. Compare an unchanged total run with a revised mix.
Quantity and timing
Compare 6,000 units at 3,000 A / 3,000 B with 3,600 A / 2,400 B before the next slot is committed.
Cash and service trade-off
At an assumed $2 unit cost, both total $12,000 in product cost. Timing, packaging, freight and lost-sales risk still require review.
Assumptions and next signal
Synthetic figures; equal unit costs assumed. Recheck B after seven in-stock days and validate MOQ, committed stock and lead time.
Decision owner
Brand operations

EVIDENCE → OPTIONS → OUTPUT

Three questions. Three different trade-offs.

CPG / supply timing

When supply timing changes, what should happen to the promotion?

Evidence
Available stock, committed orders, revised arrival dates and expected promotion demand.
Options
Expedite eligible supply, split the receipt, reallocate usable stock or adjust the promotion.
Output
A timing recommendation with cash, service and feasibility trade-offs.

Food / launch demand

Is the launch adding demand or shifting the flavor mix?

Evidence
Total portfolio sales, availability, opening fill, repeat orders and shared production capacity.
Options
Increase total output, change the mix within the planned run or hold until repeat demand is clearer.
Output
A next-run recommendation with component, capacity and cash implications.

Illustrative · synthetic data

Apparel / size depth

Which size demand should shape the next buy?

Evidence
Sales by size, in-stock exposure, returns, exchanges and retained demand.
Options
Deepen selected sizes, rebalance the size curve or hold depth pending better evidence.
Output
A size-depth recommendation with lead-time, stock and cash trade-offs.

The workspace shows how the investigation may be structured. In an engagement, ScaleSight maintains the agreed analysis and brings a reviewed recommendation. Your team makes the final decision.
