Scenario Registry
Base, Bear, and Bull stay in the scenario layer, not in copied dashboard formulas
This page is now read-only by design. Scenario variation is governed by the Chapter 6 registry, while the dashboard and notebook remain downstream communication layers over the same assembled Chapter 7 bundle.

Each case is driven only by the official Chapter 6 macro path and translation layer.

Driver Path · Oil → COGS YoY → Gross Margin
WTI crude scenario paths USD/bbl
Three scenario paths for WTI crude. Oil shocks flow into the model through the fitted oil → COGS YoY channel (input-cost story; β > 0, R²≈0.50, p<0.001), then translate to a gross margin slope via Δgm = −(1 − gmbase) · β · oil_shock.
Driver Path · CPI → DIO (2Q lag)
3-month annualized CPI paths %
Three scenario paths for 3M annualized CPI. A 2-quarter lag is applied before CPI hits days inventory outstanding.

Translation Layer
Live-fit sensitivity coefficients
Fit from RL history: 2026-04-19T06:00:00+00:00. Oil is an input-cost channel. The applied fit regresses oil YoY against COGS YoY (clean dollar pass-through; no revenue-denominator contamination). The two diagnostic rows show the margin-ratio and dollar-gross-profit fits for empirical comparison. The COGS-YoY slope is translated at runtime to a period-specific gross_margin slope via Δgm = −(1 − gmbase) · β · oil_shock.
