Case files

Each file blends challenge, intervention, and outcome language that avoids miracle metrics. Where work remains fragile, we say so plainly.

Temperature-controlled wholesale

Cold-room variance after port strikes

Challenge · Finance saw rising spoilage accruals while operations insisted probes were stable—no shared narrative for auditors.

Intervention · Dock-to-ledger reconciliation lab paired with a Stock cover heatmap sprint to expose ASN timing drift versus probe placement.

Outcome · Month-end adjustments now carry a joint ops/finance memo with explicit temperature blind spots instead of dueling spreadsheets.

Fashion retailer

Omnichannel GMROI collisions

Challenge · E-commerce promos were double-counted in store GMROI slices, eroding trust in the Monday trading meeting.

Intervention · Stakeholder metrics map to retire duplicate dashboards, plus Aging SKU control tower segments for clearance choreography.

Outcome · One sanctioned GMROI definition with an override log; fewer emergency pulls from regional DCs.

Consumer electronics distributor

Founder-led forecast optimism

Challenge · Board packs showed a single point forecast with no peer context, hiding known bias in accessory categories.

Intervention · Demand sensing benchmark with limitation-forward CFO briefing materials from our bridging playbook.

Outcome · Leadership adopted interval language in public updates; internal models still imperfect but defensible.

National grocery network

3PL chargeback fog

Challenge · Chargebacks from third-party logistics sat in a suspense account operations could not decode quickly enough.

Intervention · Dock-to-ledger reconciliation lab variance waterfall with 3PL crosswalk and escalation tree.

Outcome · Average dispute cycle shortened materially; some lanes remain opaque and are flagged rather than smoothed over.

General merchandise DC

Night-shift QA drift

Challenge · Heatmap alerts were ignored because colour bands felt arbitrary to night leads.

Intervention · Stock cover heatmap sprint redesign plus Analyst enablement studio cohort for QA rituals.

Outcome · Annotation adoption on night shifts improved; Git discipline still uneven for junior analysts.
