CBIN — Cannabis Business Intelligence Network

Cannabis Business Intelligence Network

An operator-grade intelligence network

Operator intelligence for the cannabis industry.

Today, CBIN turns your own operator data into defensible buying decisions through Margin Maker. In development: Cultivus, the market-intelligence layer that will add sourced market context — and CBIN Weekly, the operator read.

The intelligence layer

Meet Cultivus.

Cultivus is the intelligence layer at the center of the network — and it’s in active development. It’s being built to read the market from documented, traceable sources and to inform how CBIN’s products decide. We’re honest about what’s live today versus what’s planned.

DESIGNED TO READ THE MARKET

Built to draw on state and national signal — pricing, velocity, recalls, new products — from documented, traceable sources.

BUILT TO INFORM MARGIN MAKER

Intended to give the decision product richer market context behind every buy recommendation.

THE THINKING BEHIND CBIN WEEKLY

The same methodology guides what CBIN researches and writes each week.

Margin Maker · the decision product

Buy on the math, not the menu.

Today, your shop’s own data — scored into a clear buy list. Cultivus-supplied market context is in development.

What you bring — your shop's data

  • The menu you’re evaluating

    The cultivator menu you’re deciding on.

  • Your POS data

    Treez, Dutchie, Flowhub — your real sell-through and inventory.

  • Your loyalty data

    Who buys what, and when.

What CBIN brings — market context (in development)

  • Cultivator & manufacturer context

    Product, inventory, and velocity signal.

  • National + state market signal

    The market context CBIN is building into Cultivus.

  • Your state’s read

    Focused on the markets you sell into.

Margin Maker

Scores a menu against your margins and your velocity, from your own data.

Your buy list

A clear buy / consider / pass on the menu, with the reasons attached.
