A data store includes item configuration data for a plurality of configurations of an item and inventory mix rate data. A computing device is configured to generate a matrix that combines the item configuration data with the inventory mix rate data such that cells in the matrix include an indication of an inventory mix rate related to an item feature; use the matrix to develop a plurality of neural network inventory turn rate models; and use the turn rate models to associate a value with each configuration in the plurality of configurations.
