What changes when it is e-commerce

Sometimes the recommendation is to buy, not build. We say so, including when it means less work for us.

In e-commerce, every change must be justified by a controlled experiment against revenue. That single fact reshapes how ai readiness assessment has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is product recommendations, usually integrated against logistics aggregators. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions from this sector

How quickly can we see conversion impact?

Search and recommendation changes usually show within two to four weeks of experiment traffic, assuming enough volume to reach significance.

Can you fix our catalogue data?

Yes, attribute extraction from images and descriptions, plus deduplication. Catalogue quality quietly limits both search and recommendations.

How long does it take?

Two weeks for a focused assessment, four for a large multi-business-unit organisation. Longer than that and the findings start going stale before anyone acts on them.

What do we get at the end?

A scored use-case inventory, a data readiness verdict per use case, build-or-buy recommendations, and a sequenced roadmap with effort estimates you can budget against.

Will you recommend yourselves for the build?

Only where it fits. A fair share of our assessments recommend buying an existing product, and we say so plainly.
