The decision product for menu, inventory, and margin.
Margin Maker is one of CBIN’s products — the place a buying decision actually gets made. It reads the sales data you already generate and returns a clear, defensible verdict for every SKU, so the next order goes out on the numbers.
Margin Maker runs as its own product at marginmaker.ai.
Where it fits
The product where the decision gets made
CBIN is the parent intelligence network. Cultivus is the knowledge and market-intelligence layer CBIN is building. Margin Maker is the operator-facing decision product that turns that intelligence into an answer you can act on at the buy. It is a separate product with its own home — CBIN explains it here; you run it at marginmaker.ai.
What it decides
Many ways to read a menu — one clear answer
A verdict per SKU
Every product gets a BUY, CONSIDER, or PASS — with the factors that drove it shown alongside the score, not hidden in a black box.
Velocity in context
Sell-through and days-on-shelf read against your own history, so slow movers surface before they tie up the next order.
Margin, honestly
Dollar and percentage margin net of promos — the real money each unit earns the shelf, by category.
The whole menu, ranked
Score an entire menu in one pass and hand the buyer a ranked sheet instead of a hunch.
Replenishment & risk
What to reorder, what to let run down, and the concentration or expiry risk that doesn’t show up until a SKU is already dead weight.
The verdict system
Three verdicts. One decision each.
Margin Maker reduces every SKU to one of three calls — and shows the reasoning, so the buyer decides with the numbers, not around them.
Earns its shelf — margin and turn both hold up.
Mixed signal — worth a closer look before the reorder.
Dead weight — low margin, low velocity, replaceable.
Why it matters
Same SKU. Two ways to decide.
A hypothetical to show the difference in approach — not a customer result.
The gut call
“It moves, keep buying it.”
A budget SKU sells, so it stays on the reorder. Nobody checks whether it earns its shelf once margin and turn are read together — it can quietly be one of the weaker dollars on the floor without anyone noticing.
Margin Maker
Reads margin and turn together
PASSThe same SKU gets a verdict with its reasons attached, so a buyer can see when to hold the slot for something that earns more — and defend the call in the buy meeting.
