Retail and Consumer Brain
Retail decisions are numerous, fast and repetitive — the ideal conditions for machine support, and the easiest place to lose the customer if judgement is removed entirely.
The domain brain
How the retail brain works
Signals in, decisions out, systems in between, and governance around all of it.
