Runit Automated Markdown Candidate Flags
Every Monday, WebRun opens Runit, reviews seasonal running apparel by age, sell-through and weeks of stock on hand, writes the candidates into a Google Sheet with a suggested markdown, and posts a Slack shortlist so buyers clear slow pieces before the season ends.
How do I find seasonal running apparel that needs a markdown?
Every Monday, WebRun opens Runit and reviews seasonal running apparel by age, sell-through and weeks of stock on hand. It logs the slow pieces into a Google Sheet with a suggested markdown and posts a ranked Slack shortlist, so buyers approve discounts in Runit and clear stalling apparel before the season ends. WebRun never changes prices itself.
- Slow seasonal apparel is caught while a markdown can still clear it
- Buyers get a ranked shortlist with suggested discounts
- A running sheet tracks what was flagged and how it sold

Questions, answered
Will it change prices in Runit on its own?
No. WebRun only posts a markdown shortlist to Slack and logs it in a Google Sheet. A buyer decides and applies any markdown in Runit, so no price changes without a person.
How does it decide what is a markdown candidate?
It reads each seasonal piece's age, sell-through and weeks of stock on hand from Runit and flags anything well behind pace with too much stock left, then suggests a discount depth to match.
Does it keep a record of what was flagged?
Yes. It writes every candidate into a running Google Sheet, so buyers can see this week's shortlist alongside what was flagged before and track how markdowns played out.
