Simulator
Try any depth or week and see the margin before the store does.
From hunch to dry run
Every promo is a bet. You wonder about a deeper cut, a different week, or a BOGO instead, and the only way to know has been to run it and watch.
The simulator runs the bet on your own numbers first. Change the depth, the week, or the mechanic, and the projection updates before anything ships.
Pull any lever: depth, week, mechanic, or price. The projection follows.
Projections come from what your stores sold, not an industry average.
Save each try as a scenario and compare them on one screen.
Safe to be wrong
A promo that misses costs real margin for two weeks, and the flyer offers no do-overs. So nobody tries the strange ideas, and the safe bet runs again.
In the simulator a miss costs nothing. Test the strange idea, watch it fail on paper, and ship the version that survived.
Every try sticks around. Come back Thursday and the drafts are where you left them.
Test against the season you already ran. Easter behaves like Easter.
Send the winning scenario straight to the flyer sheet, with nothing to re-type.
