Scenario Notes (optional)
Use this before launching promotions to confirm whether conversion lift assumptions can offset lower unit profit.
- Evaluating discount impact only at revenue level, not contribution level.
- Ignoring payment fee effects when selling price changes.
- Treating all discounted orders as incremental demand.
Example: If a 15% discount reduces per-unit profit by 5.70 USD, you need enough incremental unit volume to recover that gap before considering campaign overhead.
