  • "The core problem is that it is easy for marketing to come up with an arbitrary use case, and the developer has to some how fit it in..." - I guess you could just let the projects keep failing, until the marketing department agree to work in consultation with you about what can be successfully achieved?

  • If the requirements are as arbitrary as you suggest and you can't "tame" the marketing beast, you need to design a promotion component that captures the dynamic nature (volatility) of the problem and I don't think you should try to model the criteria and parameters into a static data model (in a database table). Some kind of custom rule-engine could solve (most of) the problem I think. Commented Jun 14, 2023 at 12:18
