Risk

Stable: dormant. Current evidence suggests brand energy is established and unlikely to shift without a material trigger. Seasonal context has been adjusted for the Champagne calendar. Analyst note: persistence=99%, confidence=94%, topology=k=2 (adaptive bayesian fallback).

Commercial Timing

Demand conditions are mixed - pricing action carries elevated risk and requires careful judgment.
