Franchise sales trends analysis checklist for flooring contractors

Use this checklist before sharing a year-over-year franchise sales comparison. It fixes the scope, separates completed history from forecasts, preserves the source periods behind unusual movement, and records questions that need operational follow-up instead of treating a chart as an answer.

Your review checklist

0 of 11 items reviewed

A trend only answers the question represented by its selected years, locations, services, and classes. Keep that context for the next review.

Suggested owner: Reporting analyst

Incomplete periods can look like declines or growth when they simply contain fewer reporting days than completed years. This supports later review.

Suggested owner: Reporting analyst

Source links let a reviewer test an unexpected trend without rebuilding the comparison from an untraceable chart. This supports later review.

Suggested owner: Reporting analyst

A changed service, class, or period definition can create an apparent trend that is really a scope change. This supports later review.

Suggested owner: Reporting analyst

Outliers require source context before they become a claim about operations, seasonality, or performance. This gives the next reviewer a clear handoff.

Suggested owner: Operations lead

A gap in reporting can resemble a sharp change and should be resolved before interpretation. Keep that context for the next review.

Suggested owner: Reporting analyst

A comparison becomes useful when unresolved interpretation has a concrete next step rather than a vague discussion point. This supports later review.

Suggested owner: Operations lead

Retaining selections and assumptions lets another reviewer reproduce the view and understand what the chart excludes. Keep that context for the next review.

Suggested owner: Reporting analyst

Keep this industry record with the annual sales trend analysis review so another person can trace the same evidence.

Suggested owner: Location owner

Keep this industry record with the annual sales trend analysis review so another person can trace the same evidence.

When the review is complete

Finish when the comparison names its scope, labels forecasts, preserves source references, and lists open questions with owners. Keep the brief alongside the reporting history so later readers can distinguish a measured trend from a changed filter or incomplete period. Keep this record with the related workspace for the next authorized reviewer.
