ANSWER EXCERPT · SCINTILLA BASIC

We’re on Scintilla Basic. What can we credibly bring to our line review?

Build the story around your own-item performance and the merchant decision. Scintilla Basic provides Report Builder over your own Channel Performance data. It does not provide the category-share, competitor-performance, or shopper-switching conclusions that require broader access.

USE NOW

Own-item sales, inventory, in-stock, forecast, placement, and other fields available to your Basic account.

DO NOT INFER

Category share, competitor performance, or shopper switching from reports that contain only your items.

CONFIRM NEXT

Your plan banner, any padlocked fields, the merchant decision, and the reporting window.

LIMIT

The available Basic reports cannot establish the broader category story by themselves.
