∑A season · all six running
Twenty-six weeks. Six builds, one firm, and what each week would have cost without them.
From the Monday Kesri Loom goes live to the end of the financial year. The first five weeks are the six demos, on the same dates. After that the season keeps going: Diwali on the floor, Christmas on the store, March on every portal.

How to read the money
“Protected” is a loss that did not happen or money that came in on time instead of late: air freight not paid, a refusal not suffered, a refund not stuck until March. The two big ones are the two near-misses on the floor, and they are the reason the number is lumpy. A season with no machine failures and no Diwali squeeze protects far less. That is the honest shape of this.
Figures are the invented firm’s, computed by the same rules as the six demos. RoDTEP and drawback rates are illustrative. Total for the season: ₹71,99,722.
