Domain Intelligence for Retail

Find the problem before it finds the P&L. The diagnostic layer that runs all 10 hypotheses in parallel, automatically.

You can read a P&L and see what's coming six months from now. But you have hundreds of locations and one of you. Domain Intelligence captures how you investigate your business and runs it across every location, every week, without you.

You know this problem

Underperformance is usually death by a thousand cuts. Not one big thing.

It's rarely a single cause. It's traffic softening while transaction value props up the number. It's inventory arriving late while assortment gaps open. It's a new store manager learning while shrink creeps. By the time someone asks why, the moment to act has already passed.

For retailers using Circana, Nielsen, or third-party traffic data, there is a second problem: the licensed data cannot leave the perimeter. Scoop deploys inside your AWS environment, so your existing data agreements stay intact and the AI works with the data you have already paid for.

Ten hypotheses running at once, not one big thing

When a store underperforms, there are usually 10 primary hypotheses: inventory, assortment, traffic, staffing, shrink, manager tenure, pricing, category mix, competitive activity, and seasonal shifts. It's rarely one. It's usually several at once, and the interactions between them are where the real answer hides. Nobody has time to untangle that for every location.

By the time you get the answer, the moment has passed

Someone asks why a region is underperforming. Your team pulls data, builds the story, gets it reviewed. By the time the answer lands, actions take weeks to flow through the organization. The window to intervene has closed.

Your BI shows what happened. Not why.

Power BI, Tableau, your data warehouse — they all work. But they show single-source views. The real answers come from connecting sales data with traffic data, licensed market data, staffing patterns, and competitive activity. That integration is where everyone gets stuck.

There's one person in our organization who can look at these reports and see what's going to happen in six months. We have over a thousand locations. He can't get to all of them. We're trying to scale that person.

How it works

We learn how you investigate. Then we run it everywhere.

Our team sits with you and your best operators. We capture what you check first, what thresholds matter, what you'd escalate vs. ignore. That judgment gets encoded into investigation logic. Then the system runs it weekly, with no one in the loop.

Screen Investigate Safety Net Synthesize Roll Up Report
1

Screen

Multiple lenses evaluate every location in parallel. Revenue imbalances, leading indicator decline, margin erosion, traffic gaps. Flags from angles your weekly review wouldn't cover.

2

Investigate

Dozens of diagnostic probes per flagged location. The investigation adapts based on what it finds, the same way your best people actually diagnose problems.

3

Safety net

Every location that passed screening gets a second look. In production, this caught developing issues in 22 of 24 that initially appeared healthy.

Synthesize + Roll up + Report

Findings become written analysis at every level of your org. Executive-ready documents land in your inbox. 48 reports from a single cycle in the current deployment.

What it catches

The things you'd see if you could untangle every store.

Patterns from a live retail deployment. The kind of findings that surface when you systematically investigate every location instead of waiting for someone to ask.

The store that looks fine but isn't

Revenue on plan. Customer frequency declining. Traffic shifting. The headline is held up by a few strong categories while the foundation erodes. DI checks every location against the leading indicators you'd check yourself, before anyone feels urgency.

The spiral you can trace but can't watch for

Operational decisions drive customers away. Traffic drops. Inventory ages. Margins erode from markdowns. You can trace this when you sit with the data. You can't watch for it across hundreds of locations. DI follows the full causal chain and tells you where to intervene.

The pattern nobody thought to check

ML tests every combination of dimensions: category, customer segment, transaction type, geography. In production, it found customer loyalty tier was the strongest predictor of YoY change across multiple regions. Not on any dashboard. Changed the entire triage.

Signal vs. noise

A category decline that looks alarming is actually division-wide. A month-over-month drop is normal seasonality. A flagged location has already inflected. DI applies the same contextual judgment you would: benchmarks, seasonality, peer comparisons, trend direction.

What lands in your inbox

The briefing you'd write if you had unlimited time.

Monday morning. You open the report and know exactly where to focus the week.

Store Performance Report
Severe
Bottom line up front
Sustained decline across core metrics. Same-store sales down 16% YoY, driven by collapsing repeat customer activity.

Root cause
Primary driver: Customer frequency declining across key loyalty segments. Repeat customers down 34% YoY.
Contributing: Restrictive category practices reducing inventory freshness.

Prescribed actions
1. Review category practices in segments down 50%+ YoY
2. Customer retention investigation: key repeat segment down 85%

Every level gets what they need

You (COO / Executive)

"Systemic issue across both divisions. Here's the pattern and the triage framework."

Your VPs

"40% of locations flagged. The region will feel this in 3 to 6 months if it's not corrected now."

Your District Managers

"4 of 12 locations need attention. This one needs same-week intervention."

Store Managers

"Here's what's happening, why, and exactly what to do this week."

Stop choosing which locations get your attention.

Domain Intelligence is in production for multi-location retail. We'll show you what a weekly cycle looks like on your data.
