Read the whole report.

The complete sample report runs 26 figures, each with commentary the engine writes from the run's own numbers. A client engagement adds the SKU-level workbook and the CAD bay layout.

Figures are engine output from a baseline run on a fictional warehouse with generated SKUs, sales, and stock, reproduced as the engine draws them.
