Twelve brands. One set of numbers.
A group's hardest problem is not any single brand, it is comparability: twelve teams reporting twelve ways into one board pack that has to say something true about all of them.
The one job this page is about
Compare every brand in the portfolio on one basis.
- How often it comes round
- Every reporting cycle, every board pack, every filing.
- Skip it once
- The portfolio view is twelve formats stapled together, so overlap and exposure stay invisible until they are expensive.
The roll-up
One number, and everything underneath it.
The board wants one comparable read. Whether it means anything is decided four layers down, where two brands define sell-through differently.
Group
One comparable read. It is only as good as the definitions two layers down.
Brands
Each with its own calendar, its own margin structure and its own idea of what a season is.
Markets
Different duty, different labelling, different compliance clock for the same product.
Definitions
Sell-through, full-price rate and returns measured on different denominators. This is where a roll-up quietly stops meaning anything.
The hard part is the innermost box: two brands on different denominators roll up to a number that is arithmetically correct and tells the board nothing.
Why one set of numbers is hard
Three definitions, and why each one is contested.
The data is rarely missing. Twelve teams each have a defensible answer to the same question.
SELL-THROUGH. Measured against the buy, against the receipt, or against the stock on hand at week one - three numbers, all called sell-through, and a portfolio view that mixes them says nothing.
The definitional choice is a governance decision. Making it once, in writing, is worth more than any dashboard.
FULL PRICE. Whether a promotional price counts as full price decides which brands look healthy. A group with a discount-led brand and a full-price one cannot use a single rule without flattering one of them.
The honest version reports both and says which is which, rather than choosing the flattering one and not saying so.
COMPARABLE GROWTH. What counts as comparable after a store closes, a market is exited or a wholesale account moves to concession is a judgement, and judgements made separately at twelve brands do not add up.
This is the line most often restated a year later, which is the cost of getting it wrong quietly the first time.
One portfolio
Twelve brands do not photograph alike, and they do not report alike either.
Four registers from inside one group. The comparability problem below is what happens when all four answer the same question.
01The flagship
02The wholesale book
03The younger line
04The resort brand
The problem
What this actually costs you.
Twelve brands report twelve different ways.
Every number arrives in its own shape, so the group reconciles instead of deciding.

Portfolio overlap is invisible from the inside.
Two houses chase one customer, or share a factory pool nobody mapped.
What we do
Ownership, portfolio and supplier pools are mapped, so overlap is a picture.
- Ownership and factory mapping
- Company registry lookup
- Competitor price and assortment tracking
Compliance is now a reporting obligation, not a value.
Passport requirements land on the group; the evidence sits in twelve systems.
What we do
Footprints are computed from real materials data and published as registered passports.

How groups & enterprise use it
One ask each. The real file back.
Every document below opens. None of them is a mockup.
What actually runs
A board pack is a research job, a finance job and a compliance job, and they are not the same person. One system, 102 tools and 222 playbooks behind it.
