RecommendationsΒΆ

  1. Complete Phase 1 foundations (automated-item-identification, basket-management, catalogue-management, customer-identity...) to unlock: Loss Prevention Case Handling.
  2. Strengthen customer domain (avg 1.88/4.00 β€” lowest across all domains). Focus on quick wins within this domain before cross-domain integrations.
  3. Target Phase 1 to unlock Loss Prevention Case Handling β€” the first new scenario executable after implementing Phase 1 capabilities.
  4. Leverage strengths in payment, loyalty, pricing β€” these domains are mature and can serve as anchor points for cross-domain integration projects.
