We run a lot of “what if” scenarios. For example, think about buying Halloween costumes in spring without knowing the final tariff. We model different tariff levels, price points, and unit sales. We also know families’ priorities, like buying costumes for kids before adults. Then we talk it through, make a choice together, and trust the team to adjust if needed.
