Documented cause
Remi AI, co-founded by Alex Louey in Sydney in 2018, raised AUD $3M to deliver autonomous AI-powered inventory replenishment and demand forecasting for Australian retailers and distributors. Despite partnerships with Pronto Software and wins with mid-market grocery chains, global supply chain volatility in 2021-22 degraded model accuracy significantly. By mid-2023, the company could not demonstrate consistent forecast accuracy above 75% during disruption periods and client churn accelerated, leading to a quiet wind-down.
Lesson
“Demand AI that can't gracefully degrade accuracy during black swan disruptions will always lose enterprise trust.”
