Connect inventory management, POS and camera evidence. Improve on-shelf availability, replenishment lead time and queue management, then verify staffing and replenishment changes in comparable trading periods. What to measure Comparable periods, approved action and verified business outcome. ### How do we turn on-shelf availability into an approved improvement? Fortune AI connects the source records and camera evidence. The responsible manager reviews the AI recommendation, approves the action and assigns its owner. Compare shelf availability, replenishment lead time and customer waiting. What to measure SKU context, replenishment handoff, assigned task and store outcome. ### What is included in rollout and ongoing support? Receive an itemized scope, camera/data map, acceptance examples, training and support contact. Confirm hardware, integration, retention, subscription and support costs with milestones and responsibilities. What to measure Scope, acceptance evidence, costs and escalation owner. ### What scope and privacy requirements should we agree on? Receiving is the first scope. Checkout, service-counter queues, and traffic-to-staff comparisons require a new front-of-store setup and validation. Footage alone does not verify inventory, invoices, spoilage, or theft. ### Why is replenishment marked complete while goods are still in the backroom? Define completion at the required handoff, then align the receiving or replenishment record with the observed movement. Fortune AI helps teams distinguish receipt, staging and transfer to the sales floor. The store lead assigns the stalled step and verifies the next comparable replenishment period with the same records and observation rules. ### How do we validate checkout queue counts during busy trading? Agree on queue boundaries, group arrivals, service start and active checkout definitions. Fortune AI checks representative busy periods against reviewed footage and authorized POS data. Compare waiting distributions and service coverage on matched trading periods so a change in counting rules is separated from an actual operating improvement.
