Optimize commercial commitment portfolio

Select decline or one executable contract-term package per commercial opportunity under common delivery scenarios, period capacity, delivery budget, expected penalty, acceptance-cash, liquidity and CVaR gates; value acceptance and relationship economics and disclose exact or uncertified beam search.

What it's for

Lets leadership choose which promises and terms the company can afford to make after delivery capacity, penalty exposure, liquidity and relationship value are considered together.

How it works

Constrained optimization — Pick the best feasible option under real limits — budget, headcount, dependencies, capacity — rather than ranking a list and hoping it fits.

  1. 1 Freeze each opportunity and its legally/commercially executable term options, with promised date, deposit, acceptance cash, penalty schedule, capacity path and point-in-time scenario-specific delivery period, cost and relationship value.
  2. 2 Precompute option/scenario cash, cost, penalty, acceptance and relationship outcomes; combine one decline-or-option choice per opportunity while charging shared fixed cash once and enforcing capacity in every period.
  3. 3 Filter on budget, expected penalty, liquidity, acceptance-cash and CVaR gates, maximize expected terminal net value minus tail-risk penalty, and disclose exact enumeration or deterministic beam search without a false certificate.

Before you trust it

Every tool in the catalog ships with the conditions under which its answer is meaningful — and the conditions under which it should abstain instead of guessing.

Assumptions & guardrails

  • Objectives use commensurable locally governed value units, constraints reflect real feasibility, and uncertainty covers plausible adverse inputs.
  • Options are genuine executable packages; scenario outcomes share one currency, horizon and common-shock law; delivery costs and capacity are complete; relationship value is governed and non-duplicative; penalties reflect reviewed contractual mechanics; declining remains feasible.
  • The recommendation is optimal only for its stated objective, feasible set, evidence, and solver guarantee; it is not a universal management optimum.
  • The engine does not draft, negotiate, sign or reject a contract and does not score a named customer or worker. Scenario effects must be prospective; exact enumeration alone certifies the supplied discrete optimum.

Minimum evidence

  • commercial_opportunities: at least 1 rows/items
  • term_options: at least 1 rows/items
  • scenarios: at least 1 rows/items
  • capacity_by_period: at least 1 rows/items
  • current_unrestricted_cash: required and organization-defined
  • minimum_unrestricted_cash: required and organization-defined
  • delivery_budget: required and organization-defined

How to validate it

Backtest the chosen action against simple feasible baselines on held-out scenarios, sweep costs/constraints/risk tolerance, and require constraint feasibility under adverse inputs.

Calibrating it to your org

Same for everyone

The mathematical kernel, validation rules, method version, and JSON output semantics are organization-independent; no tenant-trained coefficients or company benchmark is embedded in the function.

Specific to you

  • versioned prospective commercial option registry joined to a finance-reconciled common delivery/cash scenario set and period capacity plan, retaining each declined opportunity and excluding person-level sales or customer scoring
  • term executability and legal review, opportunity/option boundaries, currency/horizon, delivery and cost scenario calibration, capacity completeness, relationship-value definition, penalty and acceptance mechanics, liquidity and risk appetite, solver boundary and human negotiation/signature authority

Calibration workflow

  1. 1 Define the management decision, target outcome, aggregate unit, privacy boundary, cadence, and prediction/intervention horizon for this organization.
  2. 2 Build a tenant-scoped historical cohort using only information available before each prediction or decision; preserve zero periods, censoring, assignment probabilities, and unresolved outcomes when the method requires them.
  3. 3 Estimate statistical parameters on training history, but obtain costs, utilities, risk tolerance, practical-effect thresholds, capacity, and policy constraints from accountable decision owners.
  4. 4 Validate on later time windows or held-out aggregate units at the deployment grain, against a simple baseline and the function-specific validation strategy.
  5. 5 Deploy only if the returned decision clears evidence, overlap, calibration, robustness, and guardrail checks; warning, unsupported, schema-gap, and fallback decisions are abstentions.
  6. 6 Monitor realized outcomes, data drift, coverage, and decision regret; recalibrate at a governed cadence or after a detected regime/definition change, never merely because a stakeholder dislikes the result.

Call it from your AI

You don't wire up 388 tools in your MCP client. The GitRevio MCP server exposes 18 tools, three of which let an agent search the catalog, read a tool's schema, and run it — so the assistant finds this one on its own.

gitrevio_capabilities_search
  { "q": "select decline or one executable contractterm" }
  → finds "optimize_commercial_commitment_portfolio"

gitrevio_capability_describe
  { "capability_id": "optimize_commercial_commitment_portfolio" }
  → returns the input schema and agent guidance shown on this page

gitrevio_capability_run
  { "capability_id": "optimize_commercial_commitment_portfolio", "arguments": { ... } }
  → returns the result shown above

Works in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev, Goose and Aider. See the MCP server.
