Retail combines high-volume transaction data, multi-channel marketing, seasonal complexity, and geographic scale. Traditional regression gives point estimates that collapse under noise. Hierarchical Bayesian models return full uncertainty distributions that actually support decisions.

Our competition isn't machine learning. It's intuitive-based decision making and Excel spreadsheets.

What We Solve

Media Mix Modeling

Production-grade Bayesian MMM across TV, social, search, digital, catalog, and affiliate channels. Multi-market, multi-brand support with hierarchical models across 50+ DMAs.

Store Site Selection

Bayesian spatial models incorporating census data, demographics, and trade area analysis to predict sales lift from new openings and quantify cannibalization on existing stores.

Customer Lifetime Value

Probabilistic cohort-aware CLV estimates with uncertainty quantification. BG/NBD and related models supporting decisions on acquisition, retention, and churn investment.

Demand Forecasting

Hierarchical Bayesian demand forecasting that propagates uncertainty through to inventory and replenishment decisions. Suitable for complex seasonal and promotional patterns.

Why Bayesian

Why Bayesian for Retail & E-Commerce?

  • Hierarchical multi-region models — Work across 50+ geographic regions (DMAs, store clusters, countries) with proper uncertainty quantification.
  • Cookieless attribution — Bayes cross-links different data sets as third-party cookies disappear. Privacy-first by design.
  • Defensible investment decisions — Full posterior distributions for CMOs, not just model outputs for data scientists. Every recommendation carries its uncertainty.

“The Bayesian approach gave us defensible site selection predictions with honest uncertainty bounds — something our previous vendor couldn’t deliver.”
