MERIT

Minimum Established Recommendation-Inclusion Threshold for a Strip-Mall Advertising Co-op

A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement reports an open-coded interview study of strip-mall traders bound to MERIT, a recommendation- inclusion floor that locks a co-op member's best-quarter visibility rate in a local AI recommendation assistant as their permanent minimum, with no seasonal adjustment or downward revision. Traders describe the strategies they use to sustain, rather than exceed, the floor once it is set.
