The change
What actually changes when you run this on Octamart
Middlemen reduce farmer margins and limit access to end customers.
Demand uncertainty causes waste or stockouts.
Delivery coordination is hard across buildings/communities.

Subscriptions make harvest forecastable
A model, not a promise. Margin recovery assumes the 15–30% typically lost to intermediaries; waste reduction assumes forecastable subscription demand.
How it runs
A week you can actually plan
The same seven days, run on a system instead of a group chat.
Sunday
Next week's demand is already known
Subscriptions have locked. You see box counts per society before a single crate is picked.

Sunday
Next week's demand is already known
Subscriptions have locked. You see box counts per society before a single crate is picked.
Monday
Harvest against real orders
Pick to the list, not to a guess. Availability updates as crates are graded.
Tuesday
Cutoff closes, picklists generate
Order windows shut automatically. Inventory-aware caps mean you never oversell a crop that didn't come in.
Wednesday
One route, every society
Drops are sequenced by address. Arounds handles last-mile where local capacity runs out.
Friday
Renewals roll without a reminder
Repeat orders re-enter next week's forecast on their own. You spend the day farming.
