Restock gap signal brief

The signals that show whether a live-commerce stockout started from demand timing, wave release timing, or warehouse handoff delay.

Claim

Restock failures are easier to correct when the team tracks the same restock request, release timing, and stream demand signal across every replenishment wave.

Restock request timestamp: Before release

Shows whether replenishment was requested early enough to meet the planned stream cutoff.

Wave release confirmation: At warehouse release

Separates release execution delay from earlier planning or forecasting gaps.

Stream demand variance: During session review

Helps determine whether stockout came from bad timing discipline or demand exceeding the planned wave.

Operational implication

Teams should review each stockout against request timing, release timing, and stream demand variance before changing inventory policy.
