Watch for

  • Replacing a task evaluation with a low-price assumption
  • Giving a subagent authority to send or purchase

PRACTICAL EXERCISE / NOT RUN BY ENTERPRISE DNA

Try the model on a small, checkable task.

Read this stock note: item P has 12 on hand, 4 allocated and reorder point 10. Return available units and whether available stock is below the point; do not place an order.

Check the result: It returns 8 available and below=true without ordering or using on-hand as available.
