Fine Tuning & Quality Assurance
Review AI-suggested competitor matches, validate or correct classifications, and ensure your pricing intelligence is accurate and reliable.
On This Page
Overview
Nesika AI automatically finds competitor products that match yours using advanced AI algorithms. While the AI is highly accurate, some matches benefit from human review -- especially for products with many variants, similar names across brands, or niche categories.
The Fine Tuningpage shows all AI-suggested matches grouped by competitor vendor. Each match can be expanded inline to see a detailed side-by-side comparison of your product and the competitor's product, along with the AI's reasoning for the match.

Page Layout
The Fine Tuning page is designed for efficient batch review. Here are the key elements you'll see:
Product Selector
Choose which of your products to review matches for. Select any product from your tracked list to load its competitor matches.
Stat Chips
Quick summary counters at the top of the page showing the Tracked count, Suggested count, and Validated count for the selected product.
Tab Filters
Quickly switch between All, Unvalidated, Validated, and Tracked views to focus on the matches that need your attention.
Filter Buttons
Additional filters for Vendor (show matches from a specific competitor) and Match Quality (show only specific match types like Perfect Match or Wrong Product).
Vendor Groups
Matches are grouped by competitor retailer, with each group collapsible. Click the vendor header to collapse or expand a group.
Understanding Match Cards
Each competitor match is shown as a compact row. Here's what you'll see at a glance:
Product Thumbnail & Name
The competitor product's image and name are shown on the left side of the row for quick identification.
Match Type Badge
A color-coded badge indicating the AI's classification of the match:
- Green -- Perfect Match
- Amber -- Different Variant
- Blue -- Different Brand
- Purple -- Different Weight/Quantity
- Red -- Wrong Product
- Gray -- Unclassified
Confidence Score
A percentage score with a mini color-coded bar showing the AI's confidence in the match. Green indicates 80% or higher, amber indicates 65-79%, and red indicates below 65%.
Price & Status Icons
The competitor's current price is displayed alongside validation status and tracking status icons, so you can see at a glance whether a match has already been reviewed.
Expand for Details
Expanded Comparison View
When you click on a match card, it expands to show a detailed three-column comparison layout:
Left Column -- Your Product
Shows your product's image, name, brand, current price, and a link to your product on your website.
Center Column -- AI Analysis
The heart of the comparison. Includes the Match Type dropdown (editable -- you can change it!), the confidence score with a visual bar, and the AI reasoning text explaining why this match was suggested.
Right Column -- Competitor Product
Shows the competitor's product image, retailer logo, product name, brand, current price, and a link to the product on the competitor's site.
Attribute Analysis Table
Below the three-column layout, an attribute analysis table provides a side-by-side comparison of key product attributes:
- Title, Brand, Price, Model, Variant, Weight, Quantity
- Each attribute shows a match indicator: ✓ match, ✗ mismatch, or ~ approximate
Changing the Match Type
If the AI's classification is incorrect, you can easily change it. Follow these steps:
Expand a match card
Click the Match Type dropdown
Select the correct classification
Perfect Match
Exact same product -- identical item sold by the competitor.
Different Variant
Same product line but a different variant (e.g., different colour, flavour, or style).
Different Brand
A similar product from a different brand.
Different Weight
Same product but a different weight or size (e.g., 500g vs 1kg).
Different Quantity
Same product but a different pack size (e.g., single vs multipack).
Wrong Product
Completely different product -- not a valid match at all.

Validating Matches
After reviewing a match and confirming the classification is correct, click the Validate button (green checkmark icon) to mark the match as human-reviewed.
- Validation confirms that a human has reviewed this match and agrees with the classification
- Validated matches display a green "Validated" chip in the compact row
- If you made a mistake and validated incorrectly, click Reject (which only appears on already-validated matches) to undo
Focus on Unvalidated First
Tracking Competitor Products
Tracking means a competitor product will be actively monitored for price changes. Tracked products appear in your dashboards, reports, and price history charts.
- Click the Track button to start monitoring a match -- it will appear in your dashboards and reports
- Click Untrack to stop monitoring that match
- You can track multiple products from the same competitor for the same product
Tracking multiple matches from the same competitor is useful for:
Monitoring Product Variants
Track different sizes, colours, or configurations of the same product from a single competitor.
Out-of-Stock Backup
If one listing goes out of stock, your other tracked matches keep providing pricing data.
Full Price Range Visibility
See the complete range of prices a competitor offers for similar products.
Tracking vs Validating
For a complete guide on multi-product tracking strategies, see the Multi-Product Mapping Guide.
Filtering and Navigation
The Fine Tuning page provides several ways to find and focus on the matches that matter most:
- Tab filters: Quickly toggle between All, Unvalidated, Validated, and Tracked views
- Vendor filter: Show matches from a specific competitor only
- Match quality filter: Show only specific match types (e.g., only Perfect Matches or only Wrong Products)
- Collapsible vendor groups: Click any vendor header to collapse or expand that group
- Real-time counters: Match count and validation count update in real-time as you work through your queue
Best Practices
Follow these tips to get the most out of the Fine Tuning workflow:
Start with High-Value Products
Focus your review time on your most important products first -- the ones where pricing accuracy has the biggest business impact.
Use the Unvalidated Tab
Filter to show only unvalidated matches so you can focus on items that still need review without scrolling past already-reviewed ones.
Watch Low Confidence Scores
Pay special attention to matches with confidence scores below 80%. These are the ones most likely to benefit from human review and correction.
Read AI Reasoning First
Before making a decision, read the AI reasoning text in the center column. It explains why the match was suggested and can help you make faster, more informed decisions.
Use the Attribute Table
The attribute analysis table provides a quick side-by-side comparison. Check the match indicators for a fast verification without needing to visit either product page.
Validate as You Go
Validating matches helps the AI improve over time. Make it a habit to validate each match after you review it, even if the classification was already correct.
Track at Least One Per Competitor
For continuous price monitoring, make sure you have at least one tracked match per competitor to ensure you always have up-to-date pricing data.
