Demand sensing from promotion calendars

An improvement should start from a recurring operational friction, not from a model demo. This article uses demand sensing from promotion calendars to ask where a focused pilot could remove that friction.

Practitioner lens

Treat demand sensing from promotion calendars as a workflow hypothesis. Compare the proposed intervention with the current way of working and check whether the improvement survives a busy planning cycle.

First experiment

Define a human review rule for low-confidence cases and keep an auditable reason for each override.

This is an original educational brief. It is a starting point for discussion, not a claim that one technique fits every supply chain.
