Why teams change

What changes once the plan moves with the week.

Spots the drift in week 2, not week 8

Variance against plan surfaces by Wednesday morning, with the actions ranked by margin impact — not buried in a Monday-only deck.

Re-forecast and rebalance

Capture what's happened, push it back into the forecast, and Tightly proposes the rebalance — OTB across categories, allocation across stores, policies tightened or relaxed.

Markdown only where it earns its margin

In-season pricing decisions are evaluated against the elasticity of each variant, not a category-wide markdown rule.

Closes the loop on the season

Every variance becomes signal for the next forecast. The system learns the season; it doesn't forget it.

The season is traded on last Monday’s WSSI export. Winners stock out and bleeders pile up before the report is even read — and the clear read only lands in the end-of-season review, when the markdown’s paid.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask, answered straight.

Something not covered here? Talk to the team.

How often does the sell-through read update?

Daily. POS, e-com, returns and supplier confirmations stream in continuously, so every style's sell-through vs plan — and its projected finish — reflects yesterday's actuals by the next morning.

How does Tightly decide what to chase and what to mark down?

Every style is scored on sell-through vs plan, weeks of cover and margin. Styles running ahead with room to chase surface as re-buys; styles trailing with stuck cover surface as markdowns — ranked by the dollars at stake, not buried in a report.

How early in the season can we act?

From the first weeks. Because the projection re-forecasts weekly, a winner heading for stockout or a bleeder heading for overstock shows up while there's still season left to act on — not at the end-of-season review.

What does “lost sales at stake” mean?

The demand a winner would capture if it didn't sell out — the gap between projected demand and the stock on hand. It's the upside you protect by chasing early, quantified per style.

Does a chase or markdown write back to the plan?

Yes. Every move updates open-to-buy and the financial plan, and lands in the audit log with the reason and the name — so the plan stays reconciled as you trade.
