Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The paper examines the global issues confronting retailing, which is striving to be more focused to the needs of the customer. As companies explore avenues for marketing and growth, investments in retailing have grown in smaller cities of India. Many companies are toying with the idea that opening shops and stores of their branded products in Class B cities of the country would fetch them first mover advantage. In this perspective, the paper explores the feasibility of organised retailing in Class B cities of India, and how far the psychographic trends promise lucrative business opportunities for companies.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
