Decision Benchmarks

Use benchmark bands before approval

Target monthly net margin

18%+

Below this level, revisit site quality and product mix.

Payback comfort band

18-36 months

Longer payback may constrain healthy scale velocity.

COGS control band

40%-50%

Monitor sourcing and shrinkage to protect margins.

Opex share of revenue

< 22%

Keep fixed monthly costs proportionate to demand.

Risk Controls

Common failure points and mitigations

Modeled profit not matching live results

Re-run the calculator with real demand and cost data every 30 days.

Overconfidence from upside scenario

Use conservative scenario for budget approval and upside for planning only.

Hidden field cost eroding net margin

Track refill labor, transport, and service effort as explicit monthly inputs.

Execution Cadence

Suggested rollout rhythm after planning

Week 1

Model conservative and balanced scenarios

Week 2

Validate key assumptions on-ground

Week 3

Launch pilot with tracked inputs

Week 4

Update model using live performance

Month 2

Approve scale decision based on net trend
