The stock nobody has touched in a year

Stock that stopped moving is cash wearing a stock number. The aging’s oldest band holds 390 units across three materials, worth 33,000.00 at moving average, and the stated half-rate proposal puts 16,500.00 on the table, recomputed monthly.

RulePrice the untouched stock honestly: the over-one-year band, valued at moving average, with a stated reserve rate and a named owner per material.

Neverlet old stock hide inside healthy totals. Units that have not moved in a year are cash wearing a stock number, and they age in silence.

Slow stock is the aging’s oldest band with prices attached. The proposal is arithmetic, so the argument is about policy.

◆ Over one year, pricedthree materials, one proposal.

Material	Units	Value	Proposed at 50%
M-4410, legacy controller boards	210	18,900.00	9,450.00
M-2205, discontinued fittings	120	9,840.00	4,920.00
M-7801, obsolete packaging	60	4,260.00	2,130.00
Untouched over one year	390	33,000.00	16,500.00

The 390 units are the aging page’s own oldest band, taken whole; the values are the overview’s moving averages for the same rows. MC46 finds these materials; the owned version prices them and keeps the proposal history. Sample values are illustrative, never client data.

◆ The disciplinea rate you can defend, a row you can name.

A write-down argued from feel loses to an auditor and to a budget owner alike. Stated rate, named materials, valuation from the same table the balance sheet uses: the meeting is then about whether half is the right policy, which is the meeting worth having.

Use case

Problem

Dead stock hides in totals, surfaces at year-end count, and the write-down becomes a fight because nobody can say how the number was built.

What we build

The aging’s oldest band priced at moving average with a stated reserve rate, owners per material, and every month’s proposal kept.

What you get

Old stock with nowhere to hide: a proposal that recomputes, a policy rate argued once, and write-downs that stop being year-end surprises.

What is your untouched stock worth today?

We build the priced band that answers monthly.
