  3. Model scenarios and trade-offs: Quantify allocation options across demand, utilization, revenue, ROI, growth potential, budget constraints, operational readiness, timing, and local market constraints.
  4. Turn data into recommendations: Translate complex operational, financial, and market inputs into clear recommendations that help leadership and local teams make better fleet allocation decisions.
