The trading week closed slightly behind plan on sales with margin ahead — the read is not the gap, it is the pattern beneath it. Outdoor is holding a working-capital problem the room has been circling for a fortnight; Cork slipped for the second Saturday running; iOS Safari checkout has been quietly leaking revenue. Three interventions clear most of it. The fourth — whether to escalate Munster to a service review — is the judgement call this room owns.
- BBQ overhang widened to 18.4 weeks of cover; supplier commitments open for four more weeks.
- Cork Saturday-afternoon conversion slipped again — the rota fix restored the pattern once, it has drifted back.
- iOS Safari checkout running 5 points below its pre-release rate — roughly £34k of weekly revenue leaking.

External retail intelligence
What is happening outside the business.
Ana's read of the external developments this document is written against.
Recommended leadership questions
Sharper than the agenda. Slower than the answer.
Ana's provocations. If the room can only ask three, ask the first three.
- Q1
Is Cork a rota problem, a service problem, or a demand problem we have not read?
- Q2
Are we finalising the BBQ markdown depth before we read Wednesday's forecast refresh?
- Q3
Which of these three would we still act on if the sales number had come in on plan?
Appendix
Further reading, by pointer.
Every appendix entry opens the workspace that holds the actual work.
