Fulfillment & OTIF Diagnostic

Reconciles internal fulfillment metrics against retailer scorecards, quantifies the gap, attributes root causes.

Channel Profitability & Capital Allocation

Readiness across eight dimensions for a specific retailer launch. Cash-flow modeling, GTIN validation, EDI preflight, gap-closing action plan.

Trade Promotion Leakage Audit

The Blast Radius — Recall Traceability

When a shared-ingredient lot touches multiple production runs, a recall isn’t one batch — it’s every batch that lot ever entered. Scenario B expands a one-day recall into 23 affected lots, 14 SKUs, six retailers, and 5,785 cases in channel: $52K–$81K in retrieval before legal or brand cost. The variable that sets the blast radius isn’t ingredient risk — it’s whether the lot genealogy exists when the call comes in.

Door Math — Distribution Penetration Tracker

Tracks which stores are actually carrying a brand’s products versus which were authorized — the gap where revenue dies. Built on Cinderhaven synthetic data (50 SKUs, 6 retailers, 640 doors). Four views: door count with authorization-to-scan gap analysis, ACV% and TDP trend lines, exception drill-down, and a printable buyer-meeting scorecard.
