512 u · arrives Nov 24 if ordered today
Order 512 units now. 35 d cover vs 77-day pipeline — six weeks past the ideal order date. This line rides the Wanda - RAVE PO — one supplier, one order, one lifecycle.
Projected inventory · next 120 days · p10–p90 band drawn, not implied
Shaded red = days at zero. Green band = p10–p90 sell-down after arrival. Every day of order delay moves the green line right one day — the gray dashed line is this decision made one week later.
