PRIVATE WORKING MODEL · FOR REVIEW

FIR Load Alignment Engine™

Price the load everyone thinks they agreed to.

Test shipper value, broker margin resilience, carrier economics and execution confidence in one risk-adjusted decision—before the tender becomes a problem.

Build the load

Use the terms and assumptions actually on the table.

Quick scenario

Operating friction

Execution conditions 0 = severe risk · 100 = strong

HOW TO USE THE RESULT

One score. Four required checks.

01BuildEnter the actual rate, costs, dwell and execution conditions.

02CompareCheck all four stakeholder scores—not only the posted margin.

03StressReview the disruption case, pricing floors and largest exposure drivers.

04ControlResolve the generated conditions before releasing the tender.

Pre-tender controls

Resolve these items before releasing the load.

  1. 01Verify appointment windows, rescheduling rules and after-hours contacts before dispatch.
  2. 02Add a recovery carrier or rate-validity cutoff for unstable capacity conditions.
  3. 03Carrier pay is approximately $504 below the durable contribution threshold.
  4. 04Customer rate is approximately $806 below the resilient margin threshold.
NEXT DECISION LAYER

Validate the assumptions in the Freight Decision Passport™

The engine tests whether the load works. The Passport verifies whether the quote, tariff, accessorial schedule and liability terms actually support those assumptions.

GUIDED PRODUCT TUTORIAL

Use the engine in four decisions.

See how commercial inputs, execution conditions, stakeholder scores and disruption scenarios combine into an actionable pre-tender decision.

  • Build the actual load
  • Read all four stakeholder scores
  • Stress-test operating friction
  • Act, then validate the documents

PROPRIETARY DECISION MODEL

How the FIR Alignment Score™ works

The model uses a harmonic balance across stakeholder outcomes, penalizes score dispersion, then applies an execution-confidence adjustment. One party’s strong margin cannot conceal another party’s unacceptable exposure.

H(Shipper, Broker, Carrier) − dispersion penalty + execution adjustment
