Volume changes the story
The same percent increase hits high-volume lines hardest.
Prioritize your week
Sort vendor calls and menu changes by dollars at risk, not gut feel.
Matches how CostBeacon ranks risk
Impact uses unit delta times quantity — the same instinct built into alerts.

Why 30 days?

CostBeacon uses a configurable horizon (default 30 days) to prioritize recurring spend at risk from price increases.

What if quantity varies?

Use a recent monthly average. Direction matters more than perfect precision.

Does this include decreases?

No — only increases count toward impact, since those are what erode margin.
