The problem
Retail AI is everywhere—but scattered across vendors, teams, and stores. Leaders lack a single view, risk controls, or a clean way to coordinate work.
Control your operating AI portfolio in retail
Overlook gives you portfolio‑level visibility, policy‑backed guardrails, and guided collaboration—so GenAI, vision checkout, robotics, and forecasting deliver impact safely.

The outcome
Overlook becomes your control tower: one record for every AI by purpose, approvals at every gate, and guided workflows across Ops, Digital, Supply Chain, LP, Legal, and IT.
What you get
Operating AI Record
A live system of record for every AI by purpose: business need, owner, risk posture, lineage, vendor, deployment scope, and evidence—kept in sync with reality.
Guardrails & Approvals
Policy‑as‑code with design, pre‑prod, and runtime gates; staged rollouts; auto‑rollback and a one‑click kill‑switch—mapped to retail risks.
Team’s Guided Experience
Role‑based workflows, RACI, approvals, and vendor collaboration—turning store feedback and incidents into guided improvements.
Portfolio visibility
See every AI in one place, organized by purpose and impact. Overlook’s Impact Intelligence tags normalize categories across GenAI, vision, robotics, and forecasting so analytics are apples‑to‑apples.

How it works
1
Connect & catalog
Import your AI list. Overlook creates an Operating AI Record for each AI with purpose, owner, deployment, and evidence.
2
Turn on guardrails
Translate policies to gates: eval thresholds, rollout cohorts, approvals. Wire telemetry and evidence capture.
3
Guide & improve
Run impact reviews with live KPIs; triage incidents; push changes through controlled, approved releases.

FAQ
Does Overlook replace our MLOps or observability stack?
No. It orchestrates governance, approvals, and impact/risk across your existing tools.
Can we gate vendor models?
Yes—policy‑as‑code, approvals, rollout cohorts, and kill‑switches apply to both vendor and internal AIs.
How fast can we start?
Most teams establish baseline visibility and kill‑switches in the first 30 days.
