How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

  • Fast-moving SKUs stock out between forecast refreshes, sending pharmacies to competing distributors.
  • Safety stock is set by habit at a flat percentage rather than by demand variability per SKU.
  • Nobody measures forecast accuracy, so the forecast is never corrected.

Per-SKU Forecasting

Demand is projected per SKU using its own history and seasonality rather than a category average.

Input Signal:

Real-time operational telemetry & queue

Reasoning Pattern:

MCP grounded vector inference

Governance Gate:

Policy constrained with audit write-back

Verified Business Outcomes

  • Stockouts on fast-moving SKUs caught before they occur rather than after.
  • Safety stock sized per SKU rather than by a single blanket percentage.
  • Forecast accuracy measured and improving rather than assumed.

Capabilities this relies on

  • forecasting
  • system connectors
  • scenario simulation
  • alert routing
  • anomaly detection
