This capability inherits the Merchandising Specialist's pricing model. The role's launch fee + monthly retainer + role-level usage cover every capability under the role. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the price.
What this capability handles
Review Moderation reads inbound customer reviews, classifies against the moderation rubric — publish, request-edit, reject, escalate — and writes decisions back to the commerce platform with audit log. Brand-sensitive calls and legal-risk language route to the merchandiser.

Expected outcomes at this volume: listing-quality score above 90%, review-moderation lead time under a day, merchandiser hours recovered weekly.
