Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request. Goal: Look at our supply order history and suggest a buying pattern that saves time and avoids last-minute orders. Quick check first: Which items run out most often? What I need from you: - Your order history (export or receipts) Rules: - Find how often each item is ordered and when we end up rushing. - Suggest order quantities and timing. - If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing. - Only suggest. Don't place orders. Output: A short summary of patterns and a suggested ordering schedule. If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps. You'll know it worked when: you have a simple plan that stops the rush orders.
