How it works
Operational flow — six beats
Before vs after is about paperwork load: fewer mystery totes, clearer photos, calmer Monday meetings.
Before
- · Manifests rewritten the night trucks load.
- · “On-hand” means three different things in one room.
- · Field photos live in chat threads nobody searches.
After
- · Named outlet tiers with pack rules attached.
- · Stock view columns defined once and reused.
- · Photo audits stored beside the wave they belong to.
- 1
Intake & hazard scan
We read outlet lists, photos, and prior wave retros. Obvious hazards (mall curfews, bilingual headers) are flagged up front.
- 2
Tier & geometry classing
Outlets are grouped with honest gaps. Fixture geometry is classed so pack sizes are not fantasy dimensions.
- 3
Worksheet drafting
Shared Google/Miro boards or printable PDFs — your call. We keep version names boring so nobody gets lost.
- 4
Pilot pack rehearsal
One hub runs a dry pick using draft manifests. Photos feed back into the allocation map before broad print.
- 5
Wave launch support window
Short daily async standup notes — not 24/7 war rooms. We document decisions in the activity log.
- 6
Archive & retro
Deliverables land in a dated folder pattern plus a retro template for the next wave — continuity is the product.
