The current page is one chart and a product table. Everything below is buildable from data already in the system: product costs and prices, monthly sales, price history, department targets. Numbers illustrative.

5Margin drift alarm
Products whose margin quietly shrank 3 months running, usually a cost creep nobody priced through.
Butter 454g31% → 27% → 24%
Rolls 6pk38% → 35% → 31%
cause: supplier cost up, shelf price unchanged
6Weighted, not average
Show margin weighted by units sold. A 5% margin on your best seller matters more than 50% on a dust collector.
Simple average margin: 31.2%
Weighted by what actually sells: 24.6%

19Monthly margin note
Three plain sentences: what improved, what slipped, the single best action this month.
"Blended margin rose to 27.8%, the best since March, mostly from the Soft Drinks reprices. Butter and Rolls are drifting down as supplier costs creep. Best single action: price through the 7 cost rises sitting in your scan inbox, worth about €95 a month."
