Repricing Frequency

The cadence each category calls for, and what the team can absorb. The calculation sets a cost of waiting that grows with the interval against a cost of acting that shrinks with it.

Team capacity

Tracking, decision, update and checking included. This is the constraint that decides what stays feasible once the cadences are set.

Categories

Rev.: weekly revenue of the category. Expo.: share actually exposed to comparison. Drift: slide in competitor prices, assumed one-way and constant, in percentage points per week. Sens.: loss of exposed revenue per point of gap to the market, in percent; the resulting cost of waiting is expressed in euros per week, like the cost of a change. Items: items tracked. Cost: operational cost of a price change, per item. Rotation: average lifespan of the assortment, in weeks. Use a point for decimals, e.g. 1.5.

What this calculation does not say
1. The drift entered is a linear, one-way slide, not a volatility (which would grow like the square root of time), and it describes a past: an open price war or a new entrant changes the regime with no warning.
2. The cost of a price change is taken as uniform, when it depends on floor space, facing count and electronic shelf label coverage.
3. Perception cost enters nowhere: a price that moves too often becomes unreadable, and no optimal cadence internalises that effect.
4. Team capacity serves as a fixed constraint, when it varies with the quality of competitor price feeds and how far pricing rules are automated.
