NAMEGCC Returns OS
PERIOD2025 Q3 → 2025 Q4
BETE-commerce returns automation, proven in Western Europe, would transfer to GCC merchants suffering 2–3× the return rates with none of the tooling.
GATE FAILEDMarket-access gate, no verifiable partner with merchant relationships materialized inside the six-week window.
MEMO
The model decoded cleanly and the gap was measurable, but model transfer without market access is tourism. Every credible route to merchants ran through two aggregators who wanted exclusivity before proof. The thesis survives; the corridor stays on the watchlist until a partner brings verifiable access.
