Supplier Disruption Response
A supplier's lead time just doubled, and the orders riding on it are now at risk.
The decision
An email lands: your supplier's lead time slipped from six days to fourteen. Three open orders depend on it — one for a tier-A account with a penalty clause. You have hours to decide: wait, expedite, reroute to an alternate, or re-promise the customer.
Why it's hard today
The signal is buried in an inbox, the contract terms are in a PDF, the alternate's SLA is in another system, and the account's importance is in someone's head. By the time you've assembled all of it, the window to act has already narrowed.
Your ERP records the order; it doesn't read the supplier's email, know the penalty clause triggers at ten days, or recognize this account is growing. It surfaces a late PO, not a decision.

The decision, its evidence, and the outcome persist. The next time this supplier slips, the system starts from what happened last time — and gets sharper with every deployment it runs in.
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.
