HOW IT WORKS

What the agent actually does

1. Map the supply network	Builds a tier-1 and tier-2 supplier graph from procurement and logistics data.
2. Monitor for shocks	Tracks geopolitical developments, weather events and supplier financial health signals against every node in the graph.
3. Flag exposure early	Surfaces suppliers whose risk has crossed a threshold, with enough lead time to act.
4. Hand off	Routes flagged suppliers to procurement for dual-sourcing or expedite decisions, and updates the Freight Rate Arbitrage Agent's routing assumptions if a lane is at risk.
