 ## What this template is for
 
-Retailers face interconnected decisions: which items will sell, which customers are at risk of leaving, what discounts to offer, and how much inventory to stock. Traditionally these are solved in isolation -- demand forecasting in one silo, pricing optimization in another, supply planning in a third. This template shows how to unify them in a single **predict-then-optimize** pipeline using RelationalAI.

 **Start with `retail_planning_local.py`** -- it trains a real sales-regression GNN on a bundled H&M subset (CPU, no external data), aggregates predictions per article, and runs both optimizers. A few minutes end-to-end. It's the quickest way to see the whole pattern working.

-carrying `time_col` (here, `Transaction`) is used only as an edge intermediary,
-validation can fail with "no time column defined in data tables." Workaround:
-set `has_time_column=False` on the affected GNN and remove the `"at"` clause
