Robert, Indicative numbers attached. Summary here so you have it in the mail. Chain wide for the three fresh categories, 340 stores: additional annual licence of approximately 420 thousand, plus implementation of approximately 260 thousand one off. On your second point, and this is the honest version. The twelve month expectation was missed for one reason above all others. The value case depended on fresh, and fresh depended on a data field that we identified as a dependency in April 2024 and never obtained. Everything else largely went to plan. We built a workaround in September 2025 which works acceptably on fast moving articles and poorly on slow moving ones, and your category manager has been compensating for the difference by hand ever since. For the next number to be different, that field has to be available. It is not a RELEX deliverable and I cannot commit to it on your behalf, which is why I am putting it in writing rather than in a slide. If it is not resolved, chain wide will reduce waste by less than the pilot suggests, because the slow moving articles are a larger share of the tail across 340 stores than across 25.

Marco, You said you would come back with a number for chain wide rather than guess in the room. I would like it before the end of the month, because our budget cycle starts in August and if this is not in it, it does not happen until 2028. Also, and I want to be direct: I asked yesterday whether we got return on investment inside twelve months and you said no. I appreciated that. But the proposal you send me needs to explain why the next number will be different, because the board will ask me and "it will be better this time" is not an answer.
