Control and Prove Every AI Pricing Decision

AI sets prices, ranks products, and approves refunds. Where's the audit trail? ByteVerity provides cryptographic evidence for every AI decision—from dynamic pricing to product ranking to returns approval.

When Customers Challenge AI Decisions

“Why was I charged more than my neighbor?” “Why was my return denied?” “Why is this product ranked lower?” When customers or regulators challenge your AI decisions, you need evidence—not explanations.

Pricing Disputes

Dynamic pricing without proof invites discrimination lawsuits.

Ranking Bias

Why did one product rank higher? Vendors demand transparency.

Promo Fairness

AI-targeted promotions can look discriminatory without evidence.

Returns Fraud

AI denies returns, customers dispute. Where's the decision trail?

Governance for Every AI Decision

From price changes to product rankings—every AI decision gets cryptographic attestation.

Dynamic Pricing Governance

AI adjusts prices in real-time based on demand, competition, and inventory. Every price change is wrapped in an attestation that proves the decision was within approved parameters.

Governance Controls

  • Price floor and ceiling enforcement
  • Maximum delta per time window
  • Geographic pricing fairness checks
  • Competitor parity bounds
  • Margin protection rules
  • Regulatory compliance mapping

Promotion Targeting Governance

AI decides who sees which promotions. ByteVerity ensures targeting decisions are auditable and prove non-discrimination.

Governance Controls

  • Budget guardrails per campaign
  • Protected class exclusion verification
  • Geographic fairness constraints
  • Frequency capping enforcement
  • A/B test attribution tracking
  • Discount stacking limits

Product Ranking Governance

AI determines what products appear first. When vendors or regulators ask why, you have cryptographic proof of the ranking factors.

Governance Controls

  • Ranking factor transparency
  • Paid placement disclosure
  • Organic vs. sponsored separation
  • Vendor fairness metrics
  • Search relevance auditing
  • Anti-manipulation detection

Returns & Fraud Governance

AI approves or denies returns and flags fraud. When customers dispute, you have evidence of the decision factors.

Governance Controls

  • Decision factor attestation
  • Customer history context
  • Fraud score thresholds
  • Appeal workflow logging
  • Human override tracking
  • Dispute resolution evidence

Dispute Defense

Scenario: Customer claims price discrimination

“I was charged $49.99 while my neighbor paid $39.99 for the same product. This is discrimination.”
