Abstract
Temporary trade promotions can take in practice many forms, specially when competitive pressures lead vendors to generate new and creative alternatives to the standard price discount or delay of payment. It is the purpose of this paper to develop the retailer's profit‐maximizing decision‐making strategy when confronted with any one of three such offers. Important issues under consideration are how much of the offer the retailer should pass on to its own customers, the kind of retail promotion needed to accompany the vendor's trade promotion, and what effect these policies have on the retailer's demand for its own products. The economic interpretation of the optimal solution is discussed and some computational experience reported. Included in the latter is the estimation of alternate forms of these offers yielding similar objectives, be they price, length of the discount period, vendor's revenue, special order size, or retailer's benefit.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
