Why publish the journey?

Business stories are usually told backwards, when the uncertainty has disappeared. This project records the decisions while they are still decisions: retailer approaches, pricing, products, sales activity, experiments and the inevitable things that do not work.

Working principle: report activity and results separately. Effort is useful evidence, but it is not revenue.
