Decision engine

Six levers. Your rules. The cheapest fix that works.

The engine picks a lever, a depth, a place and a time for every product that needs one, explains the choice in plain words, and never steps outside the rules your business and brands set.

Five sets of rules. The tightest one wins.

  • Break-even

    The arithmetic ceiling. Below this price you lose money on every unit.

    Examplemax 46%

  • Category default

    The markdown ladder, cover limits and ageing triggers for this kind of product.

    Examplemax 40%

  • Segment rule

    Fast fashion, premium and luxury behave differently inside one category.

    Examplemax 40%

  • Brand agreement

    What the brand permits, including which creators may represent it.

    Examplemax 30% · wins

  • Product override

    An exception a category manager set, logged with a reason.

  • The business console

    For each decision type, choose approve first, run and tell, or run within limits. Set value, depth and category limits, who approves what, and when automatic running pauses.

About the decision engine

Can we see why it recommended something?

Yes. Every recommendation shows the reason in plain words, the second option when it was close, doing nothing, the forecast for each, and the rules that applied.

What if we disagree?

Pick the second option, enter your own, or reject with a reason. Your own options are measured alongside the engine’s, and rejection reasons show which settings to change.

Does it work without our checkout?

Yes. In recommendations-only mode the engine sends approved decisions daily as Excel, CSV or a feed, with draft purchase orders and transfers.
