Explainable pricing rules (“Why this price?”)
Deterministic rule selection, specificity scoring, and safeguards — with an audit-friendly trace so resellers and customers can trust your pricing.
Why we built it
CSP pricing quickly becomes complex: different margins for resellers vs customers, country/currency differences, promotions, renewals, and “special deals.” When pricing logic lives in spreadsheets, it’s easy to lose money — or lose trust.
Tagydes solves this by making pricing deterministic and explainable. Every computed price has a clear “why this price?” breakdown: what the base was (cost/ERP), what rule won, and what safeguards were applied.
What’s included
- Deterministic selection: same inputs always produce the same result.
- Rule hierarchy: subscription override → customer → reseller → provider default.
- Specificity scoring: meter/sku beats offer, offer beats family, family beats category.
- Safeguards: prevent below-cost selling and enforce minimum margin policies.
- Explainability trace: see matched rules, winner reason, and any clamp/warn actions.
Example: “Why this price?” trace
When a reseller selects an offer, Tagydes computes the sell price and records a trace similar to:
Inputs: cost=€8.00, erp=€12.00, promo=€0.00
Candidates:
- Reseller rule (offer=XYZ), priority=10, score=80 → matched ✅
- Provider default (category=licenses), priority=5, score=40 → matched ✅
Winner: reseller rule (higher priority).
Safeguard: min margin 5% → clamp applied ✅
Final: €10.45 / unit
What’s next
Next improvements we’re working on:
- Auto-categorization and product family mapping during Microsoft imports
- A cleaner “Why drawer” UI (not raw JSON) for support teams
- Approval workflows when safeguards are violated
