Know what competitors charge.

Counter-side decisions, in seconds, with the rebate intact.

Co-pilot

AI explains. Code calculates.

Ask in plain English; get a margin-safe answer
Citations to source rows, never hallucinated math
Drafts deal memos, never approves a deal

Co-pilot

“What's safe to do on the X9?”

Confidence high. 7 sources.

Trust by construction

Built so the audit is the easy part.

Calculation trace

Every margin number sources to invoice + rebate + funding + attach. Nothing is rolled up without showing how. Auditor-ready out of the box.

AI explains, code calculates

The pricing engine is pure deterministic TypeScript. AI surfaces evidence and drafts language — it never gets to move the margin number itself.

Decision register

Every approve, override, and decline lands in an immutable append-only ledger with the calc trace pinned. Reconstruct any decision in seconds.

Multi-tenant by construction

Every tenant's catalog, costs, and decisions are isolated by default — your data stays in your tenant. Buying-group clean-room aggregation (members share signal, never each other's retail prices) is on the enterprise roadmap.
