Cannabis Business Intelligence Network
Buying intelligence for cannabis retail
Operator intelligence for the cannabis industry.
CBIN reads the whole market — your own sales, cultivator menus, and what’s moving across the country — and turns it into decisions you can act on. It runs on Cultivus, our cannabis intelligence engine.
What’s inside the network
One engine. The tools that run on it.
Cultivus
Our cannabis intelligence agent and the primary source of insight. It reads state and national data, and powers everything CBIN does.
Margin Maker
Scores every cultivator menu against your own data — what to buy, how much, and at what price. “Buy on the math.”
CBIN Brief
A weekly operator brief on where the market is moving — researched and written by Cultivus.
The intelligence engine
Meet Cultivus.
Cultivus is the cannabis intelligence agent at the center of the network — the primary source of insight behind everything CBIN does. It continuously reads the market (your state’s data, national trends, pricing, recalls, and new products), then puts that intelligence to work: it supplies and manages Margin Maker, and researches the weekly CBIN Brief.
READS STATE + NATIONAL DATA
Your state’s market and trends across the country — pricing, velocity, recalls, new products — read continuously.
POWERS MARGIN MAKER
Supplies and manages the scoring behind every buy recommendation — the data is already there.
WRITES THE CBIN BRIEF
Researches and drafts the weekly operator brief, so the read is current and sourced.

The gut call
Reordered the budget shake because "it sells" — at 22% margin and 31% sell-through.
Margin Maker said
Margin Maker flagged it PASS and pointed the shelf at a live-resin cart turning 2.3× faster.
The gut call
Was about to load up on a trending vape line on a rep’s word.
Margin Maker said
Cultivus showed three near-identical SKUs already cannibalizing each other; bought one, not three.
