< h2 > Why these pages exist< / h2 >
< p > Most inventory failures trace to one of three gaps: unknown velocity classes, skipped cycle counts, or missing audit trails. The sheets that follow close those gaps with numbers I have actually used.< / p >
< p > This site is built in the same spirit as < a href = "https://abel-hall.4ort.net" > Abel Hall's field-guide< / a > — raw structure, no decoration. When a method holds for 30 years, it earns its own brutalist treatment.< / p >
