Commercial pricing

A quarterly pricing round moves from an error-prone workbook to a typed, tested engine behind an approval gate.

Master data feeds a deterministic pricing engine; an approval gate blocks lines that need a named approval, and the only output is a draft. Schematic workflow, not a product screenshot.
Schematic workflow of Foodservice Pricing, not a product screenshot or a measured result.

Context

Commercial pricing benefits from consistent preparation, documented rules and clear review responsibilities.

The approach is a tested calculation layer behind a validation and approval workflow, with traceable draft outputs.

My role

Reviewed the workflow, documented requirements and built a tested pricing application.

Evidence

Draft only: confirmations are email drafts; an automated test rejects any code that could send structural

Engineering Pure engine: no third-party code in the calculation layer, enforced by an automated boundary check structural

Governed Pricing

A governed pricing engine where business rules stay deterministic and no model is in the runtime path.

AI role No AI at runtime. AI built it, under governance.

Outcome Controlled decisions validation and approval rules support traceable pricing decisions structural
