How we work an engagement
From intake to leadership briefing, every peer cohort and category review follows a clear sequence designed around store trading hours and category reset calendars.
-
Intake and scope
We clarify store format, catchment, categories in scope, and what decisions the findings must support this quarter.
-
Data request and visit windows
You share agreed sales and margin extracts. We schedule store walks that respect peak trading periods and staff routines.
-
Cohort matching or category analysis
For peer cohort work we build a confidential comparison set by format and trading area. For category reviews we map SKU roles, margin bands, and promotional intensity.
-
Leadership briefing
Findings are presented to owners and category leads with a written pack and a short list of actions sized to the next reset.
Typical Peer Cohort Benchmarking runs 4–6 weeks. Category Margin Reviews often complete in 2–3 weeks. See all engagements or request a consultation.
