# Get Better Results with Mo

Mo is available throughout Moselle. Ask questions in natural language — no specific format required.

Understanding how Mo processes a question will help you get better answers faster and know when to give it more guidance.

### How Mo works through a question

When you send Mo a message, it moves through a few stages before responding.

**1. It identifies what you're asking**\
Mo reads your question and determines the business concept — stockout risk, sell-through rate, reorder quantity, demand trend — along with the scope: which SKUs, which channel, which time period. If something is ambiguous, Mo will make a reasonable assumption and tell you what it assumed, or ask a clarifying question if it can't resolve it on its own.

**2. It pulls from your connected data**\
Mo works from the data Moselle has access to: your sales history, current inventory levels, SKU catalog, supplier lead times, and channel breakdown. It draws on whichever of these is relevant to your question and cross-references across them to build its answer.

**3. It checks whether the answer makes sense**\
Before responding, Mo evaluates whether the result is internally consistent — if a number looks anomalous, it will flag it rather than presenting it as fact. Mo will tell you when it's uncertain and explain why.

**4. It responds and shows its reasoning**\
Mo formats its answer based on what you asked for — a recommendation, a number, an analysis, a ranked list — and explains the logic behind it so you can decide whether to act on it or adjust it.

### What Mo can see

Mo's answers are only as good as the data behind them. It can work with:

* **Sales history** — order data synced from your connected channels (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart)
* **Inventory levels** — current stock positions across locations, synced from your fulfillment integrations
* **SKU catalog** — your products, variants, bundles, and bill of materials
* **Supplier data** — lead times and supplier details you've added to Moselle
* **Forecasts** — the 12-month projections Moselle has generated for your SKUs
* **Current conversation** — everything you've said in this session, including context you've added along the way

What Mo can't see:

* **Information not in Moselle** — if a supplier lead time hasn't been entered, or a channel isn't connected, Mo won't know. It may make a reasonable assumption, but it will say so.
* **Previous conversations** — Mo starts fresh each session. Context you established in a past conversation doesn't carry over. If there's something Mo should always know — a planning assumption, a key definition — the best place for it is in your Moselle setup, not a previous chat.
* **External signals** — Mo doesn't browse the web or pull in market data. Its view is your business, not the broader market.

### When to give Mo more guidance

Mo works well with plain questions. But the more specific you are, the sharper the answer.

| Instead of…                    | Try…                                                                                                   |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| "What should I order?"         | "What should I order for our wholesale channel, assuming a 10-week lead time from our main supplier?"  |
| "Which SKUs are at risk?"      | "Which SKUs are at risk of stocking out before the end of Q2, across our Shopify and Amazon channels?" |
| "How's our inventory looking?" | "How many months of cover do we have on our top 10 SKUs by revenue, based on current forecast?"        |

Give Mo more guidance when:

* **Your question involves a definition Mo might not share** — if "slow mover" or "at-risk" means something specific to your business, say so. Mo will apply your definition rather than guessing.
* **You have context Mo doesn't** — a promotion coming up, a supplier delay, a new product launch. Add it to the question and Mo will factor it in.
* **The answer doesn't look right** — ask Mo to explain its reasoning. If there's a mismatch between what Mo assumed and what you intended, a follow-up question in the same session will correct it.

Mo will tell you when it needs more information. It will also tell you when it's made an assumption — which is usually the signal to either confirm it or add the missing context.
