You have a revenue recovery gap. Recovery Analysis finds it and prices it.
Your returns and excess carry real resale value. Routing decisions, grading inconsistency, and channel selection are eroding it at a rate most businesses have never measured. Recovery Analysis finds the gap and prices it.

What is this stock actually worth right now?
Returned and excess stock loses value by the day. Condition shifts. Demand compresses. Channel availability narrows.
Recovery Analysis applies Current Realisable Market Value against four inventory zones from 90% of book in Green to 25% in Double Red and shows where your value is concentrated, where it is eroding, and what the write-down exposure is against current routing.
From better data to measurable recovery improvement
Once cost stack, channel economics, grading basis, and cycle time are measured at item level, recovery decisions sharpen across four commercial dimensions.
Margin leakage, quantified
Net recovery per return after the full cost of returns – seven operating components plus five ancillary categories most businesses have never aggregated back to the unit.
Routing gaps, priced
Which grade should route to which channel, by net £ per unit. Recovery Analysis surfaces mis-routed volume as quantified leakage, not narrative.
Channel expansion, ranked
Every channel not yet operational carries a £ price tag against your volume. Recovery Analysis ranks what each unticked channel would add so the conversation starts with a number.
Working capital, released
Returned stock at risk × days-to-cash. Compress the cycle to a defensible benchmark and the release falls out measurably not as a projection.
The metrics that change the decision
Recovery Analysis surfaces these measurements in time to influence route, recovery, and value realisation – not just explain them afterwards.
Total Cost of Return
Twelve cost components per unit – seven operating, five ancillary. The full cost stack most businesses have never seen aggregated back to the return itself.
Current Market Value
What returned and excess stock is worth right now – by category, grade, and inventory zone. Grounded in live market realisation, not book value.
Net Recovery Rate
Recovery after total cost of return, per unit. The figure that matters commercially. Most reporting stops at gross.
Recovery Gap
The difference between what current routing produces and what grade-optimal routing within your existing channels would produce. Measurable, not theoretical.
Grading Drift
The percentage-point shift between reported grading and effective grading once consistency and category are factored. Typically 3–14pp of A and B contains C and D in reality.
Inventory Zone Distribution
Green, Amber, Red, Double Red. CRMV from 90% of book to 25%. Shows where value is concentrated, where it is compressed, and where it is structurally lost.
Days to Cash
Current vs achievable benchmark. Every extra day is working capital you cannot deploy. SLA discipline determines the spread.
Channel Capability Gap
Per-channel incremental £ each additional channel would add if operationalised. Ranked against your volume, so channel expansion has a number, not a hypothesis.
