A range review that ignores quality control process will often produce a confident decision and a disappointing quarter on the Prime 5.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Prime 5.
Why quality control process matters on the Prime 5
Incoming inspection sampling catches most issues before they reach shops.
Shops that receive a short briefing on quality control process convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Functional testing of a sample from each batch is standard practice.

Commercial terms
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (198 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1155 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (6067 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
