Price intelligence
Comparing your shelf prices, out-the-door, against licensed market data, your own in-store checks and the k ≥ 8 network median — never scraped menus — and drafting repricing above the floor.
Why it matters for operations: a price only means something compared with what the customer pays elsewhere, and displayed prices sit on different tax bases. Comparing out-the-door prices from licensed sources and the store's own checks avoids false gaps.
Example: a competitor's shelf price is lower, but after tax the two stores charge the same. The comparison is made on out-the-door price, so no repricing is proposed. Where a real gap exists, any draft stays above the price floor and waits for approval.

Related terms
- Out-the-door (OTD) price
The shelf price plus all taxes the customer pays. BudAlly compares prices OTD using the state's tax formula (e.g. CA shelf × 1.15 × (1 + local rate); MI shelf × 1.16), because competitors display prices on different tax bases.
- Network median
A benchmark computed from opted-in BudAlly tenants' realized prices (from state-system receipts), shown only with k ≥ 8 contributors and never including rows from Dutchie-connected stores.
- Scraping (menu)
Automated collection of competitor menus from Weedmaps, Leafly, Dutchie or similar. Prohibited by those sites' terms and by BudAlly's data-use rule DU-SCR-01; uploads with scraper provenance are rejected.
