Case Overview
The Hard Luxury case includes a narrower item pool with emphasis on upper-tier cosmetics. Lower-tier items remain the most frequent outcomes, while mid-tier representation is reduced compared to balanced models. High-tier items contribute a large share of theoretical value despite low probability. The structure reflects a top-weighted distribution, with increased sensitivity to demand fluctuations in premium categories.
Value and Risk Factors
Expected value is heavily influenced by low-probability high-tier outcomes, resulting in elevated variance. Most results occur within lower tiers, producing a consistent gap between average outcomes and theoretical value. The limited presence of mid-tier stabilizers increases dispersion. Demand variability in premium items introduces uncertainty, while lower-tier saturation reduces baseline retention. Outcome distribution is wider and less predictable.
