great pitch! i dont work in ecommerce so i cant attest to the appeal of it but sounds like it might work to layperson ears.

one nit - "we lift revenue by 4-6%" doesn't feel like a very impressive number (it may be within the bounds of normal noise for a smaller ecom site?). that said, im very much not an ecomm guy. is this a bigger deal than it initially reads?

i also feel like recommender systems work much better for netflix (infinite consumption) than for ecommerce (where if i already bought a shoe i normally dont want another). perhaps this tech is better applied to media than to ecomm?
