THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Keep the specification and variant ratios consistent when comparing quantity scenarios. Ask the supplier to identify any changed assumptions at each level. A larger total can be misleading if it also removes sizes, changes fabric or simplifies packing.
