Smart Tuning (Calibration)

Smart Tuning calibrates threshold behavior using measured outcomes and exposes calibration status, thresholds, and recent runs.

Prerequisites

• Connected Amazon account
• Selected marketplace
• Minimum of 2 calibration reports before activation

Expected outcome: You can evaluate and activate calibration only when readiness criteria are satisfied.

Quick Start

1. Open Settings > Smart Tuning.
2. Check calibration status and report count.
3. If report count is at least 2, activate Smart Tuning.
4. Review calibrated thresholds table.
5. Track recent calibration runs.

Expected outcome: Calibration is enabled with observable evidence and history.

Detailed Workflows

Workflow: Readiness Check Prior to Activation

1. Confirm report count and calibrated type count.
2. Verify latest report timestamp.
3. Ensure account context is correct.
4. Activate only when readiness is met.

Expected outcome: Activation occurs at the right maturity stage.

Workflow: Activation and Validation

1. Click Activate Smart Tuning.
2. Confirm status changes to active.
3. Verify thresholds table populates with calibrated values.
4. Compare baseline vs calibrated values by type.

Expected outcome: Calibration state and threshold outputs are validated immediately.

Workflow: Ongoing Calibration Review

1. Check recent run list each review cycle.
2. Monitor total samples and calibrated type coverage.
3. Track average improvement indicators.
4. Adjust broader automation policy if calibration quality changes.

Expected outcome: Calibration performance is monitored as part of routine governance.

Workflow: Deactivation for Controlled Rollback

1. Deactivate Smart Tuning when needed.
2. Confirm status changes to inactive.
3. Keep historical reports for future reactivation analysis.

Expected outcome: Calibration can be rolled back without losing historical context.

Common Errors

Error: Activation blocked by readiness requirement

1. Verify report count.
2. Continue accumulating outcomes.
3. Retry activation after next calibration cycle.

Expected outcome: Activation proceeds once minimum readiness is reached.

Error: No thresholds visible after activation

1. Verify calibrated types count.
2. Check recent report output.
3. Wait for next run if data is insufficient.

Expected outcome: Missing thresholds are traced to sample coverage, not random UI behavior.

Error: Calibration appears active but no impact observed

1. Compare baseline vs calibrated threshold values.
2. Validate recommendation types in current queue match calibrated coverage.

Expected outcome: Operator can confirm whether calibration scope matches active workload.

FAQ

Is Smart Tuning mandatory for Auto-Apply?

No. It is optional and intended for data-mature accounts.

What hard requirement exists for activation?

At least 2 calibration reports.

Can I deactivate and reactivate later?

Yes, calibration state can be toggled without deleting historical reports.
