Maybe we can include a brief motivation or intro section. Something like:
"What if" scenarios in time series analysis are essential across various sectors for strategic insight and decision-making. In finance, they help investors anticipate market reactions to economic events, enabling proactive risk management. Supply chains utilize these analyses to prepare for demand shifts or supplier issues, enhancing operational resilience. Energy companies forecast the impact of demand fluctuations or equipment failures to optimize production and grid management. In healthcare, scenario analysis aids in resource allocation and patient care optimization by predicting potential changes in staff or patient volumes. Retailers leverage these scenarios to adjust to shifts in consumer behavior or economic conditions, ensuring inventory and marketing strategies remain aligned with market demands. By preparing for potential future conditions, organizations enhance their strategic flexibility and resilience.

Now that our docu is getting very comprehensive, here would be a good place to link to your guide on exogenous variables.

This is great. Here I would relate this idea to the concept of elasticity. Maybe something like:
Elasticity measures how one variable responds to changes in another, commonly used to determine how price changes affect demand or supply. High elasticity indicates a significant response to small price changes, while low elasticity shows minimal response. This concept aids in setting pricing strategies and assessing the impact of economic policies on market dynamics.
Another helpful addition would be to include a comment on the underling assumptions. Maybe something like:
Creating "what if" scenarios by forecasting future values based on past observations, such as price changes, involves key assumptions. It presumes that historical events can predict future ones and that past data, like price fluctuations, is sufficient for meaningful analysis. Additionally, this method assumes stable relationships between variables over time and may not fully account for sudden market shifts or external influences. While these assumptions are necessary for modeling, they allow for strategic insights while acknowledging some degree of uncertainty in rapidly evolving environments.
Added a call-out note for elasticity reference and on assumptions.

It would be interesting to draw some conclusions. Somethih like:
In the graphs we can see that for specific products in specific regions the discount increases potential sales, while in other regions and and products, price change play a smaller effect on total demand.

let's make colab changes in #349
Adds simple use case for evaluating different pricing scenarios when forecasting product demand for a set of products in retail.
