Synthetic example. Deterministic fictional records; not transformed, aggregated or disguised customer data. Values demonstrate the method, not achieved results.

How to read this scene. Internal commercial proof and advertising reach begin as separate product populations.

Trivial baseline

Catalogue eligibility alone: rank products by feed status without internal sales, margin, stock or refund evidence.

Sensitivity

Re-rank the repair queue under lower contribution margin and a zero-incrementality assumption; restored eligibility remains operational evidence, not revenue.

Strongest counter-case

Restored eligibility does not prove incremental demand; organic sales may have happened anyway.

Verdict

SURVIVES: repair priority. UNTESTABLE: incremental sales without a holdout.
