## Calculation

```
COUNT(products WHERE active = 1 AND wholesale_price > 0 AND (price - wholesale_price)/price < 0.15) - SKUs under 15% unit margin.
```

PrestaShop order classification uses the order-state machine: paid = `current_state` in (2 Payment accepted, 3 Processing, 4 Shipped, 5 Delivered, 9 Backorder paid, 11 Remote payment accepted); shipped/fulfilled = (4, 5); refunded = (7, 15); cancelled = (6); payment error = (8). Read live from the PrestaShop Webservice API and snapshotted nightly into the Nerve Centre KPI store.
