RCMF Test Project Charter
Your operating principles for deliberate, evidence-based vintage inventory management
Test Batches
Every item enters as a test. Track performance over defined periods (7-14 days minimum).
Friday Reviews Only
Make decisions once per week. No emotional mid-week price drops or category pivots.
Human Override
AI suggests, you decide. Document your reasoning for every pricing override.
Days to Sell
Track how long items take to move. Build category-specific benchmarks.
Price Accuracy
Compare AI suggestions vs. your final price vs. actual sell price.
Category Performance
Which eras, materials, or brands move fastest? Guide future sourcing.
30-Day Rule
If an item hasn't sold in 30 days despite testing, archive it. Document why.
Category Signals
If multiple items in a category stall, stop sourcing that category.
No Emotional Holds
Data decides. Personal attachment doesn't justify keeping dead inventory.
1. Review Metrics
Days to sell, category performance, pricing accuracy
2. Make Decisions
Publish tested items, archive slow movers, adjust next week's sourcing
3. Document Learnings
What worked? What didn't? What patterns emerged?
RCMF scales deliberately, quietly, intelligently — or not at all.
