Signature Framework · Peer-Reviewed

The DICE™ Framework

Data-Integrated Campaign Engagement: a peer-reviewed architecture that unifies Customer Intelligence, Competitive Intelligence, Market Signals, and Augmented Criteria into one shared decisioning layer — replacing campaign decisions negotiated across competing systems with a single, adaptive layer of customer intelligence. Empirically validated across telecom networks serving 150M+ subscribers, with provable performance bounds establishing new theoretical foundations for intelligent market interaction.

Soni, H. (2025). “The DICE Framework: Data-Integrated Campaign Engagement Architecture for Order-to-Cash Optimization.” International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Science, 16(5). DOI: 10.26483/ijarcs.v16i5.7332

1

Customer Intelligence

Unifies subscriber and behavioral signals into one shared decisioning layer, replacing per-system negotiation.

2

Competitive Intelligence

Continuously factors market positioning and competitor signals into every engagement decision.

3

Market Signals

Ingests real-time market and demand signals so targeting stays adaptive rather than static.

4

Augmented Criteria

Applies AI-driven decision criteria on top of raw data, optimizing for order-to-cash outcomes, not just engagement.
