Inventory Risk — inventory health based on age and sales activity.
Threat Level — how urgently this SKU deserves action after considering inventory risk and cash exposure.
A small, dead SKU can rank below a larger, only-somewhat-slow one.
Why this is a target
No units sold in 63 days despite 84 units on hand and a full season of shelf time. Both inventory risk and cash exposure are high enough to act now rather than continue holding.

Why this markdown
- Zero sales in the last 63 days
- 84 units on hand — a meaningful cash position
- Margin at $59.99 still covers cost with room to spare
A 25% markdown keeps the price well above unit cost while giving it enough movement to restart sell-through.
High confidence
Based on consistent zero sales velocity over 60+ days, with enough margin at the proposed price to support a markdown well above unit cost.
Success target: Sell through at least 50% of remaining units within 30 days of applying the markdown.
If it misses: If sell-through stays flat after 30 days, move to a deeper markdown or a bundle offer instead of holding longer.
