Reading the analysis: Efficiency is remarkably consistent (13/14 stores in the 80–90% band). MEP is the single biggest saving lever (44% of avoidance). Fitout shows the highest % avoided (95.7%) because most stores treat it as Amazon-direct/free-issue and price £0. QLD1 (AG13) is the one true outlier — a different tender template with £101k of preliminaries, dragging efficiency to 32%. Refrigeration was priced in only 8 of 14 stores.
