ACE Market Intelligence

ACE Market Intelligence is an inert Domain Pack for turning attributable market observations into domain-governed Signals, Shifts, Cases, and Briefs through the shared ACE Core + Intelligence runtime.

It supplies marketing meaning and policy. It does not implement a second reasoning engine, graph, state store, authority system, detector runtime, or feedback loop.

• Distribution: ace-domain-market-intelligence 0.6.0 release candidate
• Requires: Python 3.12 and ace-core>=0.4.1,<0.5
• Artifact boundary: JSON-only, data-only, inert
• Status: initial public repository; tag, GitHub Release, and PyPI publication are pending

Architecture

The user-facing grammar is a DAG, not a forced pipeline:

evidence → Observation → entity state
              ├────────→ Signal ──┐
              └────────→ Shift ───┼→ Case / Brief → Decision → Outcome
                                  └→ governed feedback proposal

Domain scope

The full Market Intelligence domain is intended to cover:

• competitive intelligence;
• product and pricing intelligence;
• market and megatrend understanding;
• customer and voice-of-customer understanding;
• narrative, claim, and messaging drift;
• campaign and go-to-market signals; and
• competitive, event, weekly-summary, GTM, and de-positioning Brief policies.

These are Market-domain types and taxonomies. The shared machinery remains in ACE.

The current frozen proof is deliberately narrower: its compiled 0.3.0 pack models competitor and product entities, public price observations, numeric price Shifts, competitive Signals, persona routing, and a governed competitive-price Brief. Additive 0.4.0 and 0.5.0 pack revisions add ordered synthesis and bounded decision/outcome policy; the 0.6.0 distribution adds the P1F LIVE-bridge conformance packet without pretending that every planned Market facet is implemented.

Install

The package will install with either command after the 0.6.0 public release:

uv add "ace-domain-market-intelligence==0.6.0"

pip install "ace-domain-market-intelligence==0.6.0"

Installing the Domain Pack adds data, not behavior. The wheel contains no Python modules, entry points, install hooks, connector, or application UI.

Current proof surface

The repository carries the frozen Market P1 packets:

• P1A/P1B: deterministic price observations, numeric Shift, Signal routing, and Brief resources;
• P1C1/P1C2: declarative source mapping and governed LIVE source admission;
• P1D1: governed Case-bound Brief synthesis and exact replay;
• P1E: Decision, Outcome, and bounded feedback proposal with no silent policy change; and
• P1F: the paired LIVE Shift → Signal → route → Brief bridge through unchanged ACE.

The separately packaged public-product connector accepts only an injected reviewed transport. It is source-available here for conformance but is not a dependency of the Domain Pack and is not planned for publication in the 0.6.0 root release.

GI2: cross-domain falsification

The release candidate must prove a clean installation of ACE plus both independently packaged domains:

ace-core 0.4.1
  + ace-domain-market-intelligence 0.6.0
  + ace-domain-world-intelligence 0.8.0

Both packs must compile and activate through unchanged ACE, retain distinct pack, entity, persona, policy, and authority identities, and survive independent deactivation. A co-install alone is not enough. Passing this gate supplies the second public-domain evidence needed to close Core roadmap outcome GI2.

Current verification and remaining publication steps are recorded in the 0.6.0 release-candidate record.

Guardrails

• A pack contains no imperative control flow or credentials.
• Source repetition is not independent corroboration.
• Claims retain attribution and corrections append rather than rewrite history.
• Installing a pack does not compile, activate, authorize, execute, deliver, or publish anything.
• Models may propose; deterministic policy and explicit human authority govern activation and consequential use.
• Content creation, campaign activation, publishing, and project management are downstream consumers, not part of this package.
