The Marketplace Reliability Overhaul That Decreased Cancellations by 38%

Starting Point
A consumer marketplace struggled with reliability - cancellations, inconsistent supply, and poor repeat behaviour.

Underlying Structural Problem

The platform optimized for volume, not quality consistency:

  • wrong supply-side incentives

  • poor matching logic

  • no quality-control mechanism

  • ineffective trust-building narrative
     

Strategic Interventions

Over 12 days, we rebuilt marketplace architecture:

  • created reliability incentives for supply

  • redesigned trust architecture across the user journey

  • rebuilt matching logic for quality-first outcomes

  • reframed the brand from convenience → reliability
     

Impact

  • cancellations ↓ 38%

  • repeat rate ↑ 24%

  • marketplace profitability increased

  • valuation narrative upgraded to “predictable outcomes”
