Pricing

Key takeaways
- Guardrails encode brand policy as data.
- Every proposal shows margin, elasticity and competitor context.
- Approval limits keep pricing authority where it belongs.
Guardrails first
Minimum margin, maximum discount depth, protected categories and market rules are configured before any agent can propose a move.
A proposal outside the guardrails is not shown as an option; it is blocked with the reason.
Context the agent must show
Sell-through, coverage, competitor public prices and weather-driven demand in the affected markets travel with the recommendation.
The pricing manager reads the evidence before approving, not after.
Traceability
Executed price changes stay attached to the decision, the approver and the measured effect on margin.
That trail is what allows a controlled rollback.
