Decision Intelligence Layer · Europe

Europe needs its own commerce intelligence layer.

AI currently optimises conversion. Alfee optimises consumer decisions. A sovereign infrastructure for transparent pricing, sustainable choice and trustworthy commerce.

The Problem

Commerce AI tells you where.Not whether you should buy.

European consumers are making the most important purchases of their lives inside systems designed to maximise spend, not value. We treat that as a structural problem.

Which one is the right decision?
Urgency optimised, not honesty
Platforms are tuned for conversion. Countdown timers, fake stock and dark patterns push consumers to buy at exactly the wrong moment.
No pricing memory
A €489 headphone may have been €329 three weeks ago. Without a 90-day historical view, every consumer decides blind.
No alternative awareness
New, refurbished, second-hand and local EU offers exist in parallel — but no system compares them on equal terms.
No decision intelligence
Comparison tools tell you where to buy. None of them help you decide whether you should buy at all.

Alfee transforms price comparison into decision intelligence.

The Science Behind BuySense

A probabilistic engine for commerce decisions.

BuySense composes four orthogonal signals into a single, auditable recommendation. No black box, no pop-up urgency — just structured intelligence about price, time and intent.

PPS32nd percentile
Price Position Score
0.71

Locates the current price within its long-term distribution across the European merchant graph.

MSsoftening
Momentum Score
−0.42

Detects directional bias from recent multi-merchant pricing flow, weighted by volume and stockouts.

VRSlow
Volatility Risk Score
0.28

Measures historical dispersion to flag SKUs with promotional swings, FX exposure or merchant noise.

Beyond Price Comparison

Comparing all dimensions of commerce.

Price is one variable among many. Alfee evaluates every European purchase across sustainability, repairability, warranty, local availability and predicted price evolution — so the cheapest option is rarely the smartest one.

The European Moat

Built on 20 years of European commerce intelligence.

Alfee inherits one of the largest historical pricing memories in Europe — a structural dataset competitors cannot retroactively assemble, accumulated catalogue by catalogue, season by season.

2005
KuantoKusta founded
Pimenta brothers launch one of Europe's first price-comparison engines.
2010
Behavioural pricing memory
First million SKUs continuously tracked across the Iberian merchant graph.
2015
Black Friday telemetry
Multi-year seasonal patterns captured at hour-level granularity.
2019
Cross-border expansion
Regional pricing asymmetry mapped across PT · ES · FR · IT · DE.
2023
Vectorisation begins
Twenty years of catalogue data converted into semantic embeddings.

Why this is structural
  • A new entrant cannot retroactively observe 2008 Christmas pricing.
  • Behavioural patterns of Iberian and southern-EU consumers are encoded in the corpus.
  • Regional asymmetries (PT vs ES vs IT) become quantifiable advantages.
The Engine Is Already Running

Not a roadmap. A production system.

Alfee's intelligence layer is live, observable and continuously ingesting European commerce signals. What follows is real platform telemetry, not concept art.

Vectorisation

Turning products into machine-understandable intelligence.

Every SKU in the European catalogue is encoded as a high-dimensional embedding. The model learns what makes two products substitutable — across brands, generations, languages and merchant taxonomies — so commerce can finally be reasoned about, not just searched.

  • Detects comparable items across merchants and languages
  • Clusters generations and refurbished equivalents
  • Understands intent: 'noise cancelling headphones' → product class
  • Surfaces sustainable alternatives with similar utility
