Approve

The cold space read needs to go up, not down

Khaboura

What happened

The finding sits at one store but the decision does not. No store manager has the authority to reallocate 366 square metres of trading floor, and none of the three options can be executed at store level.

Why it matters

A finding lands better with the person who can act on it. Sending it to a store that cannot reallocate this much floor costs time on both sides.

Already done

The four week evidence is assembled with the floor area, the occupancy cost and the three costed options.

Then what

Proposal with four week evidence, into the floor plan reviewGroup retailReports back 16 Oct

If approved

The read goes to group as a proposal with four weeks of evidence and three costed options

If declined

It goes to the store as an instruction it has no authority to act on

Armed

Nothing currently notices when a zone goes cold and stays cold

Barka

What happened

Cold zones are found when someone goes looking. There is no standing measure, so a zone can decline over a quarter with nobody registering it as a change.

Why it matters

Floor productivity decays slowly and gets noticed at annual review, by which point three quarters of rent have been paid on space that was not working. A standing threshold catches it in the third week.

Already done

The threshold is set and armed. It fires a proposal with the store and the area attached rather than an alert.

Worth

Oman

What happened

The cold area is one contiguous quadrant rather than scattered dead ends, and it holds across four consecutive weeks of trading. That is roughly 420 square metres of rented, staffed, lit floor.

Why it matters

Scattered cold space is a layout artefact and usually not worth acting on. A contiguous block of this size is a reclaimable asset, and it is currently carrying full occupancy cost against almost no revenue.

Already done

The block is measured, mapped and quantified in square metres, with three uses costed rather than one recommended.
