Vendors operate with thin margins and little historical data. Lightweight forecasting, shared cold storage, and cooperative purchasing could convert neighborhood-level signals into practical decisions without requiring enterprise software. The opportunity is intentionally human-scale: a cooperative, clinic, workshop, school, or municipal team could pilot it within one locality and measure outcomes before expanding. Mathematical modeling can help with allocate uncertainty, incentives, or resource constraints; entrepreneurship can turn a reliable workflow into a viable service.
