Audited planning profile
This lean three-year profile applies a 0.75× editable baseline across 36 model periods to the household groceries compare model.
Use the difference between option A and option B; keep the scale and horizon identical for both. Treat the lean scale as a lower-bound plan and test whether essential fixed costs still fit. Run an adverse case for inflation, downtime and changing demand over three years.
Food safety, allergies, nutrition adequacy, supplier availability and local price changes are not assessed.
Check package yields, current prices, dietary requirements and safe storage guidance.
