Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with incrementally swapping items in an assortment are described. In one embodiment, a computing system includes demand logic configured to read data from an electronic data structure that defines an assortment. The assortment defines a subset of items from a product category. The demand logic is configured to generate forecasted changes to an associated metric value by generating demand transference values for (i) individually removing each item presently in the assortment and (ii) individually adding each item of a set of available items of the product category. The computing system includes assortment logic configured to transform the electronic data structure that defines the assortment according to the forecasted changes by incrementally swapping items in the assortment for new items in the available set of items until the forecasted changes between items in the assortment and new items in the set of available items satisfy a predefined condition.
