Retail Shrink & ORC AI Readiness

$112.1B in shrink, and 67% report more ORC violence. Find the shrink drivers — without cloud-based facial recognition.

07 / The problem

Shrink is a top-line problem. The National Retail Federation's 2023 survey estimated $112.1 billion in 2022 shrink at an average rate of 1.6% — and 67% of respondents reported increased violence and aggression from organized retail crime perpetrators.

Texas has sharpened the legal stakes with its updated organized retail theft statute. The question for retailers isn't whether shrink exists, but where exactly it's coming from: receiving, the floor, the register, or the return desk.

This brief outlines a readiness assessment that traces a retailer's shrink drivers end to end — and where AI-assisted review can help, with no cloud-based facial recognition and no guaranteed shrink-reduction claims.
