A Household Grocery Inventory Beta, and a Separate Retail Concept

The Problem

ReFED reports $380B in U.S. surplus food in 2024, of which $325B was wasted. Store-level produce shrink and markdown performance vary and require a measured baseline.

• $325B U.S. food wasted in 2024, according to ReFED
• Variable retailer shrink and margins require customer data
• Unvalidated Xpired has no measured production waste-reduction outcome
• Scoped regulatory obligations vary by product, role, location, and date

The Market

The initial customer-discovery focus is U.S. grocery retail. Market size, reachable accounts, pricing, and expansion scope have not been approved as public numeric claims.

• Discovery validate retailer workflows and willingness to pilot
• Evidence establish baselines before claiming operational value
• Planned merchant pricing and packaging are not live offers
• Current shopper beta remains free during TestFlight testing

AI Scoring

Computer-vision analysis is a candidate product direction. No scanner availability, architecture, supported scope, or accuracy is approved as a claim about the active signed beta.

Pilot Hypothesis

A scoped pilot could test whether supplemental estimates affect a reviewed workflow. No waste, revenue, trust, or competitive outcome is claimed.

Deployment Discovery

The shopper beta runs on supported iPhones. Merchant hardware, integration, implementation, and commercial requirements are not finalized.

Planned Workflows

Merchant records, exports, and date-label workflows are planned concepts and would not provide legal assurance.

Product

Shopper Beta + Development Prototypes

The iOS shopper beta is available on TestFlight. Merchant surfaces and backend services remain development or pilot-scoping work, not a generally available production platform.

Evaluation-bound metrics

Coverage and accuracy must be bound to the exact signed build and live model stack before publication.
