Document the demand map
Record confirmed facts, attach supporting evidence, keep open questions visible and assign the next action to a named owner.
Build a product mix around real users, finished retail packs and an explicit substitution policy. A railway station project may serve commuters, travellers and rail staff in ticket halls, platforms and transfer corridors. Explain the recurring need and operating responsibility before narrowing equipment options. Use drinks, snacks, chargers and travel accessories in finished packaging. Product form, customer presentation, site limitations and daily service should be reviewed together. Pay attention to short dwell time, luggage flow and platform access.

A changed package is treated as equivalent without review. A route, clearance or access condition remains unknown. An exception has no named decision maker. Initial discussion can start, but open items should remain visible and assigned instead of being treated as confirmed. No. A new SKU, package version or intended setup should be reviewed as a controlled change. Provide finished products, site evidence, users, quantity, payment preference, branding, delivery constraints and operating ownership.Railway Station Vending Assortment Architecture: Core, Local and Seasonal SKUs
