HOW IT WORKS

What the agent actually does

1. Pull live inventory	Reads current on-hand stock against the reorder policy set by the Inventory Optimization Agent.
2. Model the gap	Projects demand over the remaining lead time against known variability.
3. Score the risk	Converts the projected shortfall into a stockout probability and a risk tier.
4. Hand off	Escalates Critical/High tier SKUs to the Vendor Performance Analyst to check expedite options, and signals low-risk overstock candidates to the Markdown Planner.
