Field Notes

Preparing extracts for a sell-through brief

What to gather before a discovery week so definition debates happen on purpose, not by accident.

A clean discovery week needs imperfect but honest materials. Bring two recent weekly packs, even if they disagree. Add sample extracts for sales, intake, on-hand, and returns with whatever field names you actually use — polish can wait.

Note who currently “owns” sell-through in the meeting and who owns the file that produces it (often different people). List open questions: transfers, concessions, staff sales, and damaged stock.

If you are booking MaplePoint System for an inventory sell-through rate dashboard, that bundle lets us spend day one on decisions instead of archaeology. Send it with your contact brief; we will confirm what else, if anything, is missing.
