The Data a Merchandiser Owns
You take one chino order and the sixty-two fields that carry it. You learn what a field really is, and when a blank is honest and when it lies. You see what one correct number typed into the wrong field costs, once six decisions have used it. And why the field nobody owns is the field that fails and stays failed.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can name the numbers you are accountable for and where each one comes from, run a critical path in a system rather than a file, and make the case for or against moving a process off a spreadsheet.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You run a pass over your own order record. You write a one-line definition for every field that reaches a decision. You name an owner for each, and list the ones that have none. You write a rule for what your blanks mean. You map the fan-out of your three most-used fields and mark the irreversible decision. And you build a correction habit that keeps what the record used to say.
