Top 5 recovery opportunities
Each figure is the engine's projected recovery over that action's promo window for the SKU's highest-priority play — not a guess.
Specific actions, with the math to back them
Every recommendation names the product, cites the data that triggered it, and quantifies the recovery — BOGO, markdown, vendor return, and purchasing fixes included.
120 units on hand, selling 0.20 units/day, $15,000 tied up — 600 days of supply against a 60-day target. 108 units ($13,500 at cost) already exceed a healthy position, so any new purchase order compounds the overstock. No recovery dollars are claimed for stopping a reorder; the win is avoided spend while the shelf sells down.
380 units of Apex Live Resin Cartridge 1g from Apex Extracts have sat 150 days. Pursue a vendor credit or return to recover $8,208 of cost basis at near-zero margin risk before any discounting.
Papaya Punch Live Badder 1g is at a liquidation threshold (205 days on hand). A 50% clearance is projected to move 248 of 310 units ($5,580), accepting $1,364 in margin to free $4,216 of trapped cash. Use only as strategic liquidation. Last sale was 75 days ago.
Berry Bliss Gummies 100mg is aging 95 days at 1.10 units/day. A 15% markdown is projected to move 189 of 420 units ($3,534) while preserving 44% gross margin — more margin-protective than a clearance.
Pair this Battery SKU with Sunrise Sativa Disposable 1g, the store's top-selling complement. A bundle lifts basket size and is projected to move 156 of 390 units ($2,746) at only 12% effective discount, preserving 60% margin — the anchor stays at full price.
At 63% gross margin with 140 units aging 98 days, a buy one get one free offer moves pairs (39 units, $936) while protecting the per-unit list price — net margin stays positive because margin exceeds 50%.
180 units on hand, selling 0.35 units/day, $6,300 tied up — aging 74 days with 42% margin intact. The position is drifting, not dying: placement and staff attention can restart movement without spending a point of margin, and the 10% markdown stays in reserve if velocity does not respond.
90 units on hand, selling 0.25 units/day, $1,755 tied up. Watchlist: the 2.5% effective margin is too thin to discount without pricing below cost, and no vendor-return or liquidation trigger applies yet.
