MK-076 | Product-line breadth inventory
For a regular chat, upload packs/mk-076.md. It includes the shared rules, this method, and required references
Purpose
This skill delivers: Product-category coverage and gaps
Products occurring in the same transaction do not establish psychological motives; a product pairing does not automatically prove cross-selling effectiveness
Required inputs
Provide: SKUs, product costs, customer groups, purchase records, and product lines
Method
- Product-line breadth examines whether the brand has different product categories that let the same shared audience continue buying as its needs change
- Do not expect only repeated purchases of a single product; the brand can extend into other categories its audience needs
- Each new category must still fit the shared audience and brand capabilities; do not expand arbitrarily just to add SKUs
Calculations and interpretation
Product selections and next-need proposals are candidates; check inventory, gross margin, existing buyers, and sales data
