How it works

From your data to a defensible buy

No new system to run and no black box. Here’s exactly what happens between your POS export and the order you send.

01
Connect
Link Treez or upload a CSV export. CBIN reads your sales, your costs, and your on-shelf history — the data you already generate every day at the register. Nothing new to track.
02
Cultivus scores it
Every SKU is run across five dimensions and reduced to one number. Cultivus weighs margin against velocity, replenishment against risk, and your menu against the market you sell into.
03
See the menu ranked
A ranked BUY / CONSIDER / PASS sheet, with the factors that drove each verdict. No black box — every score shows its work, so you can defend it in the buy meeting.
04
Buy and watch the margin
Cut the PASS list, double down on BUYs, and reallocate the shelf. Re-score next cycle and watch blended margin move. Buying becomes a number you manage, not a hunch you defend.

The model

Five dimensions behind every verdict

Every BUY / CONSIDER / PASS is the sum of these five. No single number runs the show.

Does this SKU match what your basket actually sells? Range, price tier, and category mix versus your real demand.

Dollar margin and percentage, net of promos and discounts — the real money each unit earns the shelf.

Sell-through and days-on-shelf. How fast it turns, and whether it’s worth the reorder or tying up cash.

Where your own label can win the slot — and where a third-party SKU is quietly cannibalizing margin.

Concentration, expiry, and volatility. The downside that doesn’t show up until the SKU is already dead weight.
