How the temperature reads

For every (segment × age bucket) pocket, we take the median $/DWT of clean sales in the last 90 days as the current, the median over the last 3 years as the baseline, and score the current's percentile within the pocket's own 3-yr distribution as the regime.

Frothy ≥85 · Warm 60-85 · Neutral 30-60 · Cold <30. The prescriptive one-liner reads regime + 30-day slope to name the action, not just the state.

Sales are de-outliered (kept between $20 and $8,000 per DWT). Refreshed each daily run; nothing hand-tuned per pocket.
