Day 0
Choose the store set
Start with stores that represent normal pressure, including at least one location that creates morning follow-up today.
Implementation
Implementation should feel small at first. Pick a focused store set, choose the closeout gap to measure, keep the POS in place, and use real closeouts to prove whether the packet becomes cleaner by Day 14.
Buyer wants to know what work changes before agreeing to a pilot.

Day 0
Start with stores that represent normal pressure, including at least one location that creates morning follow-up today.
Days 1-3
Look for missing proof, vague reason quality, sign-off before evidence, owner confusion, or review bottlenecks.
Day 14
Use packet quality, adoption, unresolved exceptions, and reviewer follow-up to decide the next rollout step.
Setup
Implementation starts by naming the fields a reviewer needs, not by asking stores to adopt a broad new system all at once.
Enablement
The first implementation goal is not a large transformation project. It is getting managers to submit a packet that can answer for itself the next morning.
Close to action. Needs specificity, risk reduction, proof, and a clear pilot path.
Concierge setup
Focused first stores
No POS replacement
Daily review rhythm
Day-14 decision
Questions
The first implementation pass is designed around a 14-day pilot, with Day 0 baseline setup and a focused readout by Day 14.
