  • Mapping product hierarchies to ensure consistent pricing signals across SKUs, bundles, and substitutes
  • Establishing fallback pricing rules when real-time data sources fail or return anomalous values
  • Calibrating confidence intervals for demand forecasts to prevent overreaction to statistical noise

Module 2: Data Infrastructure for Pricing Algorithms

  • Partitioning pricing data by region, channel, and product category to support localized model training
  • Implementing change data capture (CDC) to track historical price changes and audit algorithmic decisions
  • Selecting columnar storage formats (e.g., Parquet) to optimize query performance on large pricing datasets
