August menu items ranked by sales and margin

The request

The task request supplied to the adapter, alongside the workspace below. Runtime instructions, authorized tools and skills also affect the system. Containerized runs withhold host-side references; local mode is not an isolation boundary.

I'm redoing the menu. Using the August POS export and Rosa's cost sheet, show me every item ranked by how many we sold and by margin - my note has how to read the export. Save it as menu_performance.xlsx.

Workspace

  • note_from_marcus.txt
  • pos_item_details_2026-07.csv
  • pos_item_details_2026-08.csv
  • recipe_costs.xlsx

Expected deliverables

  • menu_performance.xlsx

Recorded acceptance checks

The table uses check names and outcomes from the frozen campaign ledger. Acceptance requires all required predicates to pass; a predicate may itself contain a tolerance or coverage threshold. Its scope is part of the measurement contract.
