The Promise

Not news. Not charts.
What to do this week.

"You already know something is off. The shipping costs, the timing, the margins that don't add up the way they should. We see what you see — six weeks before it hits you."

🚢
BDI tells us your freight costs before your invoice does
Baltic Dry Index moves hit your shipping invoices 6-8 weeks later. We track it daily and translate it to £ per kg for your next order.
🏦
Rate cuts don't boost spending immediately — we tell you when
It takes 3-6 months for a rate cut to reach buyer pockets. The BoE cut in March means your spending window opens June-September. Stock now.
📊
We tell you what official data doesn't
CPI says 3%. Real buyer cost of living is running 7-9%. Your buyers are more stretched than headlines suggest — and that changes what you stock and price.
🎯
60 category scores across 4 markets — updated daily
Garden & Outdoor at 85 in April. Camping at PRIME WINDOW. Consumer Tech DOWN. Every category, every market, every week.
They say: "UK inflation is falling to 3%"
Real cost of living — energy, food, transport — running 7-9% for most households.
→ Your buyers feel more stretched than headlines suggest. Value products outperform premium right now.
They say: "Rate cuts will boost the economy"
Cuts take 3-6 months to reach buyer pockets. March BoE cut means June-September uplift.
→ Stock discretionary categories NOW for the summer window, not when confidence headlines improve.
They say: "Employment is near record highs"
Real underemployment including zero-hours runs ~12%. Irregular income = irregular buying.
→ Payday cycle matters. Peak buying: 25th-5th each month. Dead zone: 18th-24th.
They say: "Consumer confidence improving"
Surveys lag real spending behaviour by 4-8 weeks. The window passes before headlines confirm it.
→ Act on BDI and rate signals early — not when you read it in the news.
