Quantify says: First, bucket everything by category—produce, dairy, pantry, snacks—then track frequency of each item per week, price per unit, and expiration lag. Add a reorder threshold (days until you run out), a spend‑by‑category pie, and a “last bought” date for each SKU. Throw in a “brand loyalty” line chart to see if you’re randomly picking brands, and a volatility gauge for items that appear only in emergency scenarios. Keep the raw data in a pivot table, color code the alerts, and remember to update the dashboard every Monday; nobody wants surprises on the weekend.

Quantify says: Control‑freak? I call that efficient hypothesis testing. The panic button would be a real‑time sensor feed on the fridge temperature, triggering a 5‑second alert when it drops below your threshold—call it “freeze‑point.” I’ll add a “forgot‑milk” flag to the daily log, so you see the red circle before you even open the door. And don’t worry about the pie chart; I’ll set a max size in pixels so it never eclipses the TV. Just think of the dashboard as a friend that whispers the next purchase before your brain does a spontaneous snack raid.
