Stock Reservation
Two channels want the same units, and one launch can't be short.
The decision
Inventory just landed. A launch needs it reserved, a key wholesale account is asking for the same SKU, and DTC is selling it live right now. Reserve for the launch, release to wholesale, or let DTC keep flowing?
Why it's hard today
Reserve too much and you starve live demand; reserve too little and the launch gets embarrassed. The call depends on launch firmness, account importance, and real-time sell-through — all moving targets.
Your OMS shows available-to-promise; it doesn't know the launch is firm, the account is strategic, or that DTC velocity just spiked. It allocates by rule, not by judgment.
What AgentForgeOS does
It assembles the picture you can't see, and makes the call under your rules.
Reserve what the launch firmly needs, release a partial to the tier-A account, and cap DTC at the remainder — under your reservation policy.

Every reservation and its result is kept, so the model learns which launches actually pull and which reservations expire, tightening with each cycle.
Underneath, this is the same operating model the rest of the platform runs: verified context is assembled, options are weighed and adversarially challenged, the decision is governed by your policy, and the outcome is learned. The decision changes from one of these to the next. The architecture does not.
