DemandWeave

Match small markets under real constraints.

A bounded exact matcher for synthetic buyer groups and merchant production batches, with budgets, deadlines, tier prices and capacity constraints.

The question

A greedy allocation can consume capacity that a better combination would use to serve more buyers. Unknown preferences also must not become assumed consent.

How it works

  • Maximize buyers served before considering catalog savings.
  • Use bounded exact search and compare with fixed-order and best-order greedy policies.
  • Rank unresolved substitution questions by conditional improvement without accepting the substitution on a buyer’s behalf.

Evidence & results

  • Stored comparison covers 200 seeded synthetic eight-buyer markets; exact matching served more buyers on 18 of those paired markets.
  • A separate assignment oracle checks 60 seeded five-buyer instances.

Scope & next steps

  • Small-instance reference solver, bounded to 12 buyers and six offers.
  • No live market, customer savings, LLM capability or real payment outcome is demonstrated.
