How it’s measured
Based on days since the last sale, evaluated at the finest grain that matters for fashion retail: variant × size × shop. (Size XL dead in Lyon is a different problem from size M selling in Paris.) Only items with stock on hand are considered.Status tiers
| Status | Days since last sale |
|---|---|
| Stale | 30–59 |
| Very stale | 60–89 |
| Dead | ≥ 90 — or never sold (shown as ∞) |
Where to find it
Add the Dead stock table block to a dashboard. Rows are sorted by immobilized value (the capital tied up first), so the most expensive problems surface at the top.Acting on it
- Markdown — discount to move it (respecting your markdown calendars and margin guards).
- Rebalance — send it to a shop where that variant/size actually sells.
Dead stock reads your current stock snapshot, so it reflects the latest ingested state —
keep ingestion healthy for accurate figures.
