Seasonality interacts with authenticity checks more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.

A scratch code or QR verification on every unit is now the minimum expectation.
Keeping a short internal note on authenticity checks for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Meta 2.
Batch numbers should match between inner tray, carton and invoice.

Commercial terms
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (140 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1602 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (8461 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
