Recommend markdown timing and depth per SKU and location cluster from sell-through and inventory-age signals, with your sign-off required before any price change over a set guardrail.
Markdown cadence still gets set in spreadsheets by category, so by the time a SKU is flagged as overstocked, most of the margin that could have been protected is already gone.

A slow-selling SKU is recommended for a markdown deeper than the configured price-floor guardrail, and needs a category manager's sign-off before it goes live.
Try it — same review surface your operators use, with a representative decision. Nothing here is saved or sent anywhere.
Competitive response during price wars, and ownership of the price-floor guardrails the system executes against, stay with your category managers.
