## Executive Summary: The Burning Platform
- **Sales Gap:** Same-store sales declined 17% vs JB Hi-Fi's 4-6% growth.
- **Operational Loss:** 38% stock-out rate costs AU$45M annually.
- **Legacy Risk:** Maintenance costs AU$152M/year; infrastructure is a major liability.

- **Phase 3 (25-36mo):** Predictive analytics and full supply chain automation.
