Syllabus

6 modules, earned in sequence.

01

Foundations: Where AI Belongs in Retail Operations

A grounded model for deciding which retail and e-commerce work AI should touch, and which work belongs to your merchandisers, support agents, and planners. Sets the judgment framework used across every later module.

  • The Augment-First Decision Test
  • Mapping Your Retail Workflows Honestly
  • Protecting Knowledge and Morale During Rollout
02

Product Content at Scale

Generate, structure, and govern product content across thousands of SKUs without flooding your catalog with bland or wrong copy. Keeps merchandisers as editors and trend-spotters rather than copy machines.

  • Attributes First, Prose Second
  • Review Tiers by Stakes, Not by Volume
  • Killing Hallucinated Claims
03

Support Deflection and Agent Assist

Use AI to handle routine support volume and to make human agents faster and more accurate, without hiding behind a bot that traps frustrated customers. Keeps agents on the hard cases where they add the most value.

  • Deflect the Resolvable, Escalate the Rest
  • Agent Assist That Drafts, Not Decides
  • Don't Silence the Defect Signal
04

Personalization and Recommendations

Drive relevance and revenue with recommendations while keeping merchandiser intent, brand standards, and customer trust intact. Covers where algorithmic ranking helps and where human curation must override.

  • Where Algorithms Rank and Where Humans Curate
  • Guardrails Against Off-Brand and Harmful Recommendations
  • Measure Trust, Not Just Clicks
05

Demand and Inventory Signals

Turn forecasting and inventory models into decision support that planners trust and override intelligently, rather than black boxes that autopilot your cash into the wrong stock. Keeps planners accountable for the call.

  • Forecasts as Decision Support, Not Autopilot
  • Knowing When the Model Is Out of Its Depth
  • Closing the Loop With Human Market Knowledge
06

Governance, Rollout, and Measuring What Matters

Put the operating discipline around your retail AI: clear ownership, honest metrics, and a rollout that protects people while it improves the business. Ties the prior modules into a governed, durable program.

  • Ownership and Accountability for Every System
  • Metrics That Resist Gaming
  • Staged Rollout, Rollback, and Keeping the Knowledge

Each module ends with a checkpoint; the final exam unlocks once every checkpoint is passed.
