Open Deduction – a new probabilistic pricing engine for marketplaces

1•mertbirlik•1h ago
Title: Open Deduction™ – a new probabilistic pricing engine for marketplaces

Text: We’ve been working on Open Deduction™, a patent-pending pricing framework that blends dynamic e-commerce pricing with probabilistic rewards.

Instead of fixed discounts or static coupons, every buyer interacts with a real-time probability curve (we call it Mert’s Curve™). Each purchase carries both: • A guaranteed path to eventually buy at a lower price (“deduction”), • And a probabilistic chance to get the product for free.

The system is powered by the I.L.G.N.™ engine (Interactive Lottery – Gamified Nucleus), which governs the probability parameter p and ensures fairness, licensing compliance, and marketplace integration. We’ve been simulating behavior with Monte Carlo runs and developing modular integrations (Shopify app, marketplace APIs, POS terminals).

Our patent (PCT/TR2025/050782) covers a wide range of real-world use cases: e-commerce, second-hand markets, streaming platforms, payment systems, and even probabilistic loyalty programs.

Why this matters: • For sellers → new conversion & retention mechanics, higher ARPU, viral pull. • For buyers → gamified purchasing, transparent odds, and the thrill of “risk-reward” without needing to gamble. • For platforms → licensing-compliant, modular plugin logic, adaptable to any market.

We’re releasing the first demos soon at opendeduction.com, and we’re looking for feedback from developers, marketplace operators, and anyone interested in how probabilistic systems can reshape online transactions.
