Overview
In June 2023 a new event was added to the game, in which every week 3 products are randomly selected and their productivity is temporarily increased or decreased by 6-8% for a 3 week period (Till and from T-00:00:00 UTC every Monday).
Change in productivity causes increase/decrease in wages per unit and hence impacting production costs.
How to know which product is affected?
SimCompany Times publishes an article on every Thursday, notifying about the products that will be affected in the upcoming week. Also the products affected by the event get a notification bar in encyclopaedia and their respective production buildings informing the change. Like shown below (only for illustration): Or At any given time 9 products are affected by this event and are in different parts of their 3 week period. You can see the list of currently affected products in Simcotools (link given below)
Previously affected products: (9 Oct 2023 onwards) docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tTmYQn_W44_cZOq_Po9SIP4WpuUbbwJUq9Qc1MgzdVM/edit?usp=drivesdk

Is this the beginning of what we can expect when Patrik was referring to making the sales algorithim more responsive or is this completely separate? Do we have evidence that these production modifications actually have enough time to percolate through the economy?

Do we have evidence that these production modifications actually have enough time to percolate through the economy? This is a separate event, presumably to add more complexity to the pipelines. The impact on the economy or market is not alot, for most of the products it's rarely noticeable, but for some products like cheese, milk, Steel beams a slight decrease/increase in average mp can be observed in that time period, surprisingly for glass the change was alot, more than 10% average mp increased. (Source: simcotools) If market doesn't reflect the impact of these changes means the producers are taking most of the hit.
