Industry context
Retailers use Corules to enforce return policies, prevent refund abuse, manage inventory allocation, and gate promotional offer application. Policy-compliant returns process in seconds. Abuse patterns escalate for review. Inventory decisions respect safety stock constraints before execution.
Corules provides the deterministic policy enforcement layer that Retail & Ecommerce organizations need to deploy AI agents in production — with audit trails that satisfy regulators and governance teams.
Regulatory requirements
Consumer protection regulations (FTC in US, CRA in UK, ACL in AU) govern return and refund rights. Promotional offers are subject to advertising standards — AI-generated promotions must not make unsubstantiated claims. Data retention requirements vary by jurisdiction for transaction records.
Corules's immutable audit ledger records every decision with: policy set version, actor identity (from signed claims — never from LLM output), normalized input hash, outcome, and reason. This creates a complete compliance trail for any regulatory examination.
Key decision types
These are the structured decisions most commonly enforced with Corules in Retail & Ecommerce:
- Return and refund authorization
- Promotional offer eligibility and discount application
- Inventory transfer and fulfillment routing
- Customer loyalty program redemption
- Fraud pattern detection and account review

Frequently Asked Questions
Can return windows vary by product category and customer tier?
Yes. Return window parameters are keyed by product category and customer loyalty tier. Premium customers can have extended windows without changing the policy logic.
How does inventory transfer policy prevent stockouts?
Safety stock parameters by SKU and location are defined as policy constraints. Transfer decisions that would drop source below safety stock are blocked before execution.
