Both methods, side by side
Same eleven stores, two starting points.
Every figure updates as you move a dial. Neither column is a recommendation.
Method 1 · the population build
What each tier costs, bottom-up.
Reach throttle and frequency drive impressions; CPMs price them; flat lines are added on top.
Media mix
Where the dollars go.
The mix throttles applied to each tier's media budget under Method 1, and to each store's monthly budget under Method 2.
