Saved market-share fixture and lever arithmetic

Read the explanation

Saved twenty-twenty-six fixture shares are twenty-one point three, twenty-seven point eight, twenty-three point one, fourteen and thirteen point eight, summing one hundred. Bars compare Alo and Vuori at ten pixels per percentage point. These entries are source fixtures, not independently verified industry sales. Default Alo lever twenty-five divided by twenty-five equals one; Vuori twenty divided by twenty also equals one. Each bonus multiplies factor minus one, so default adds zero. Bars show the ratios at four hundred pixels per unit. Lever values are scenario controls rather than observed growth rates. For the final saved year, setting Alo lever fifty makes factor two and bonus twenty point three. Formula subtracts sixty percent of that bonus, twelve point one eight, from target brand before rounding and minimum clamps. Bars compare bonus and target subtraction at ten pixels per share-point change. Independent clamps can change final sums; do not promise conservation outside un-clamped fixtures. Raw native export/reset and responsive allocation checked.
