THE GRAVITY SALES INTELLIGENCE AND FORECASTING SYSTEM
FILE LIST AND DOWNLOAD GUIDE
Release 1.2 | August 2026

WHAT THIS SYSTEM DOES
Preserves the local facts behind sales, builds evidence-based forecasts, translates forecast demand into labor and production requirements, measures accuracy, and carries lessons forward from year to year.

HISTORICAL EDITS
Any prior day may be corrected when a governing factor is learned later. Update the affected record and complete the Daily Revision Log so the prior understanding, new evidence, editor, approval, and forecast/labor impact remain auditable.
