Perception engine

A versioned model of the situation

Give every incoming-order evaluation a shared, current understanding of process reliability and operating conditions.

How it works

  1. Historical SAP snapshots calibrate reliability against protection: customer promise minus SAP planned completion.
  2. Recent closures describe the current late-rate regime while route-level evidence identifies constrained or degraded paths.
  3. Narrative density, causal depth, attention focus and dominant mechanisms describe why the current plan may be fragile.
  4. The engine publishes a versioned runtime model on a governed cadence rather than rebuilding the world for every incoming order.
Human contribution

Judgment and authority

Process owners approve the cadence, minimum evidence, reliability floor, frozen horizon and schedule-change budget.

Machine contribution

Perception and consistency

The engine continuously integrates quantitative and bounded narrative evidence into consistent shared state.

Output to the next stage

A versioned runtime model used by the validator, console and portfolio governor.
