Published load evidence
The same retail dollar does not recover equally across categories
Liquidata’s Expected Resale model uses the approved recovery schedule by category and condition. Category managers can evaluate the load mix instead of assuming one recovery rate across every product.
Does this category and condition mix support the recovery case?
DECISION REVIEW
Move from category composition to concentration review
One blanket rate hides risk; the schedule reads category and condition separately.
- 01 Step
Review category composition
See which categories — electronics, home goods, apparel, toys — drive item count, quantity, and supported Fair Value.
- 02 Step
Apply category and condition recovery
Use the approved schedule only where category, condition — new through salvage — and value coverage support it.
- 03 Step
Challenge concentration
Identify when one category determines too much of the load’s recovery case.
ROLE OUTPUT
Use recovery by category and condition, not one blanket rate
Mix clarity
Understand what the load adds to the assortment.
Recovery discipline
Avoid applying one blanket percentage to unrelated categories.
Concentration awareness
See when a narrow mix raises sell-through and markdown risk.
Read the mix on a load you are considering.

Questions
Questions this role should resolve
Where do recovery rates come from?
Liquidata uses one approved category and condition recovery schedule so public and application calculations share the same source.
What happens when category lineage is missing?
Expected Resale Revenue is withheld when required category support is absent.
Can managers override the published estimate?
Teams can model their own channel assumptions separately, but the published Liquidata estimate retains its canonical basis.
