Offer, Pack and Pricing Intelligence

Devices & Handsets

Offer the device the customer can afford and the operator can deliver, with the whole cost shown.

When a handset fails or an upgrade is asked for, compare a device and plan pairing, an instalment offer, a certified pre-owned option and no offer, against credit eligibility, stock and total cost.

For Device, retail and channel teams.

The decision, annotated from the record

A customer's device is failing, cannot use the services they pay for, or they have asked about an upgrade.

The device and plan this customer is offered, on which terms — and the cases where the answer is no offer.

  1. A device and plan pairing the customer's credit eligibility supportsConsidered
  2. An instalment offer on the device they asked for, with the total cost shownConsidered
  3. A certified pre-owned device that keeps the plan they haveConsidered
  4. No device offer, where the credit or stock position rules it outConsidered

Before anything reaches the customer: Credit eligibility, stock, plan compatibility, price, consent and fraud checks pass.

What would reach them: Present one device and plan with its total cost over the term, and place the order through the order and credit systems on acceptance. On Retail, App, Web, Dealer.

The decision

The device and plan this customer is offered, on which terms — and the cases where the answer is no offer.

A customer's handset drops the network on 4G. The flagship on the shelf would sell, on instalments they cannot carry. A cheaper device would keep them on the plan they have.

  • A device and plan pairing the customer's credit eligibility supports
  • An instalment offer on the device they asked for, with the total cost shown
  • A certified pre-owned device that keeps the plan they have
  • No device offer, where the credit or stock position rules it out
What it does

Three things it helps you decide or do.

  • Read the device, the credit position and the stock

    Device age and capability, the credit system's own eligibility, stock and plan compatibility are what a device offer is judged on, not an affordability score the page invents.

  • Compare devices, terms and no offer

    A pairing, an instalment, a pre-owned device and no offer are ranked together, and the credit, stock, price, consent and fraud checks can refuse any of them.

    • No consent
    • ineligible product
    • price/catalogue mismatch
    • contact cap
    • credit/fraud block
    • channel unavailable
    • control assignment
  • Keep the quote, the order and the delivery apart

    Total cost over the term, the credit decision, the order and the delivery are recorded separately, so an approved instalment is never counted as a device in the customer's hand.

Devices & Handsets: the situation this product is about

Device, retail and channel teams

StepWhat the customer experiencesWhat the operator does
The momentThe moment that started it.A customer's device is failing, cannot use the services they pay for, or they have asked about an upgrade.Reads device model, age and the network features it cannot use, credit eligibility from the credit system, not an inferred score, stock and delivery position from the order system, plan compatibility, consent and fraud state.
The decisionThe decision to be made.Nothing reaches the customer yet.Ranks a device and plan pairing, an instalment offer, a certified pre-owned option or no offer against eligibility, stock and total cost.
The safeguardsThe conditions that stop it.Still nothing. No action is sent until every check has passed.Credit eligibility, stock, plan compatibility, price, consent and fraud checks pass.
The actionThe action that reaches the customer.Present one device and plan with its total cost over the term, and place the order through the order and credit systems on acceptance. Reaches them on Retail, App, Web, Dealer, in Kiswahili, English.Recommends. The system that holds the right confirms, charges or provisions.
When it goes wrongRefusal, failure and recovery.The instalment is approved and the device is out of stock in the customer's region, so the order sits open with a credit line committed.Stock is confirmed before the credit line is committed, an order that cannot be fulfilled is released with the reason, and the customer is offered the device that can be delivered.
The resultThe change it made.What changed for them is what is counted; nothing else is claimed.Delivered devices on plans still active after ninety days, against total cost and returns.
The proofThe proof anyone can check.Can be answered for, later, from the record.Device signal, eligibility, stock, quote with total cost, credit decision, order, delivery and ninety-day status.

Hypothesis

A device the customer can afford keeps them on the plan for the term; one they cannot is a return, a default or both.

Desired result: Incremental revenue or retention; lower contact waste; improved conversion with margin guardrails

Modelled not observed

No figure is modelled for this journey. The mechanism that could produce the result is stated instead.

Ingest → qualify → score → apply limits/consent → assign control → execute approved action → capture delivery and business outcome → monitor/retrain

Observed

Nothing yet. Measurement begins in a pilot’s validate stage, on your systems, against a comparison agreed first.

Randomised holdout where feasible; intent-to-treat primary view; pre-declared denominator; guardrails for complaints, margin and opt-out

Measured on: Eligible population; treatment rate; conversion; incremental revenue; ARPU; churn; contact rate; margin; opt-out; decision latency

Assumptions, costs and the record’s five answers
  1. 01
    Desired result

    The result wanted.

    Incremental revenue or retention; lower contact waste; improved conversion with margin guardrails

  2. 02
    Mechanism

    The mechanism that could produce it.

    Ingest → qualify → score → apply limits/consent → assign control → execute approved action → capture delivery and business outcome → monitor/retrain

  3. 03
    Evidence required

    The records kept to show it.

    Decision log; eligibility snapshot; price/order response; delivery receipt; control assignment; revenue/outcome ledger

  4. 04
    Costs and risks

    The cost, and the ways it can go wrong.

    Costs: Setup fee + annual product subscription; optional managed execution fee; optional verified-outcome fee with agreed baseline

    If it fails: Fail closed on eligibility/consent/price; queue retryable events; do not duplicate orders; route exception to campaign operations

  5. 05
    Measurement approach

    The measure that shows it helped.

    Randomised holdout where feasible; intent-to-treat primary view; pre-declared denominator; guardrails for complaints, margin and opt-out

    Measured on: Eligible population; treatment rate; conversion; incremental revenue; ARPU; churn; contact rate; margin; opt-out; decision latency

Nothing has been observed for this product. Every line above is the record's own design intent; measurement begins in a pilot's validate stage, on your systems, with the comparison agreed first.

The business side

The change
Delivered devices on plans still active after ninety days, against total cost and returns.
Running cost
Setup fee + annual product subscription; optional managed execution fee; optional verified-outcome fee with agreed baseline
What evidence supports it
Device signal, eligibility, stock, quote with total cost, credit decision, order, delivery and ninety-day status.

Implementing it

Four stages, and what has to be true before the next one starts.

12-16 weeks to pilot; 2-4 additional weeks per market after reusable interfaces exist. A team of 8 roles, named in the record rather than promised.

  1. 01

    Scope

    One use case, one value unit and a denominator finance has agreed to. Without these there is nothing a later result can be compared against.

    • Confirm value unit
    • select use case
    • baseline denominator
  2. 02

    Connect

    The attributes mapped from your systems, and the decision and outcome interfaces working in both directions.

    • map attributes
    • integrate decision and outcome APIs
  3. 03

    Validate

    Eligibility agreed, a dry run with nothing sent, then a controlled pilot with a holdout that is actually respected.

    • build eligibility
    • dry run
    • controlled pilot
  4. 04

    Operate

    The live loop: decide, check, execute through your systems, capture what came back, and measure against the control.

    • Ingest
    • qualify
    • score
    • apply limits/consent
    • assign control
    • execute approved action
    • capture delivery and business outcome
    • monitor/retrain

Needs client data and integration review

The client’s data and integration position.
Runtime / build state
