How it gets tested before it ever talks to one of your sellers.
A scenario only passes if every rule and every criterion passes. If the reviewer itself errors out, that counts as a failure, not a pass.

- Hard rules check the mechanical facts, including whether any offer ever went over the number. A separate reviewer scores whether it held that number under pushback.
01 / The supply
The cars stopped coming to you.
Your customer used to drag his trade up to the store. Then a company with a national ad budget showed him he could get a real number on his phone in minutes without leaving the driveway, and he took it. Who wouldn’t.
Everybody figured it would blow over. It didn’t. Those units just stopped showing up, and now you’re in the lane paying over ACV for whatever’s left.
02 / The leads you already bought
You paid for that one.
Two or three grand a month goes out the door for acquisition leads. A guy asks for a number at nine on a Saturday night, gets one, and sits there deciding whether it’s worth the drive. Your BDC gets to him Monday, if they get to him at all.
And the number he got was low, because whoever stands behind it plans to wholesale the car. It was a floor. You could have beaten it all day. Somebody just had to be there.
03 / The bath
Everybody knows how this one ends.
Short on inventory, the desk bumps the bid. Get the car now, sort the margin out later. Ninety days on it’s aged and repriced, so you take the bath and the plan becomes what it always becomes.
Make it up in the box. Count on service to carry the store. That works right up until it doesn’t, and none of it was ever a selling problem.
What the auction is costing you
Not the hammer price. Just the fees and the transport you eat on every unit you bring in from the sale. Put your own numbers in.
The turn
So we gave your buyer a second set of hands.
STRYKE doesn’t decide what your cars are worth. You do. It works every private-seller lead in your market at once, holds your number on all of them, and hands your team the ones worth their time.
Your buyer stops burning his day on leads that were never going to land, and what used to live in his head alone ends up being something the whole store owns.
Two sides of the same lot
Most stores start on the acquisition side.
The money gets decided when you buy the car. That is where nearly all of this lives. The leads coming the other way have the same problem though, and it is there when you want it.
