Buy / Hold / Cut / Move It Worksheet
Companion to Your Best Seller Might Be Your Worst Inventory Decision. One sheet per SKU family (hero + cousins). Print it or fill it on a tablet. Not a calculator.
Purpose: Stop restocking by sold-count fame. Land a written call: buy, hold, cut, or move it.
Reads: Turns · space · money stuck (rough is fine).

The Call (Pick One — Date It)
