You don't have to ask. AgentFlow works around the clock, catches problems and openings early, and comes to you with what to do about it while there is still time.
Order margin is slipping. Down 0.6 points since Monday, and on pace for 2.1 by Friday.
Expedited freight in the Northeast is running at 3.1 times normal. Since the carrier change on June 1, ground shipping misses the two-day promise, so orders are being upgraded automatically.
About $212K of margin by Friday if nothing changes.
Ship Northeast orders from Newark, which restores two-day ground for 84% of them. Pause automatic upgrades on orders under $75.
Routing belongs to the VP of logistics. Both moves are inside the logistics playbook.
A dashboard tells you where you fell short. Anticipate tells you while you can still do something about it.
Anticipate tells you. Down 0.6 points, with the cause and the fix attached. The reroute is approved by nine.
The weekly review tells you. Down 2.1 points, well explained, with nothing left to do about it.
Same week, same problem. Illustrative.
The same watch that catches a leak catches an opening: a segment converting better than forecast, a supplier whose price just dropped, accounts that have outgrown their plan and have not been asked. Either way the note has the same five parts: what, why, what it is worth, what to do, and who decides.

Fourteen accounts have outgrown their plan. Nobody has called them.
Usage has run above 90% of the plan limit for three straight weeks in 14 accounts. None has an open expansion deal in the CRM.
About $380K in new annual recurring revenue at list price.
Offer the next tier to the nine accounts renewing within 90 days. Offer an add-on pack to the other five.
The expansion playbook gives these to the account owners. Outreach is drafted for each of them.
A number moving is a fact. Knowing why it moved, what it is attached to, and what you are allowed to do about it is judgment. Anticipate draws on three layers to get there, and you govern all three.
Your metrics, defined once and governed: measures, dimensions, and how each metric rolls up into the next. Order margin is made of revenue, cost of goods, freight and returns, and each of those is made of something too. That tree is how AgentFlow knows where to look.
The things your company is made of and how they connect. Orders ship on carriers from distribution centers. SKUs come from suppliers and run on lines. Accounts have contracts, seats and owners. It is how a number gets traced to a thing someone can fix, and to the person who owns it.
The contract that renewed on June 1. The promotion that ends Friday. The margin floor, the approval policy, the playbook for a late supplier, and what happened the last time this came up. It is how AgentFlow knows what matters and what you are allowed to do about it.
Semantics find the change. Ontology finds the cause. Context finds the fix.
A metric tree finds the change. It takes ontology and context to find the fix. One tree of three, drawn from the illustrative order-margin case.
Order → shipment → carrier → lane → distribution center. Northeast orders ship from Columbus. Newark can serve 84% of them by two-day ground.
The carrier changed on June 1. The new contract is cheaper per mile and a day slower in the Northeast.
Any order that would miss the two-day promise is upgraded to expedited, automatically.
Moving volume between distribution centers needs no finance approval when the margin effect is positive. The VP of logistics owns routing.
Ship Northeast orders from Newark. Pause automatic upgrades on orders under $75. Sent to the VP of logistics for approval. Margin protected by Friday: about $212K.
Illustrative. Your trees come from your own semantic layer, and the real ones usually run deeper. Two more trees, net revenue retention and on-time in-full, are on the Use cases page.
Anything can send alerts. The hard part is being worth listening to at 2 a.m. These are the rules it works under.
A move inside the normal range gets no message. A move it can't explain is reported as unexplained, not dressed up.
Routing belongs to logistics. That account belongs to her. The ontology says who owns what, so the note goes to the person who can act.
The fix comes from your policies and your playbooks, not from a model's imagination.
It recommends. A named person approves. The plan is frozen before it is sent, so what runs is exactly what was signed, and it all goes on the ledger.
Anticipate is not a separate engine. It is a compiled workflow that is always on: the same fixed path, the same checks, the same ledger as everything else AgentFlow runs.
Most of those steps run as code, so a check costs about a cent on the benchmark workflow. That is what makes it practical to look every hour, at every segment, all year.
Each one told step by step: what it watches, what runs, what is checked, and what arrives.
For finance and commerce. The carrier changed, freight tripled, and it said so on Tuesday.

Read moreFor supply chain. A supplier shutdown, fourteen SKUs, and a chargeback that starts at 95%.
Read moreOnly where you have said it can. By default it watches, diagnoses and recommends, and a named person approves. When a step changes something in the real world, the plan is frozen with a fingerprint of its inputs before it goes for approval, so what runs is exactly what was reviewed.
It is built not to. It stays quiet while a metric is inside its normal range, and it speaks up only when the drivers explain the move. A movement it can't explain is reported as unexplained, not dressed up as a finding.
The metrics come from the semantic layer you already govern, so there is one definition of margin for people and agents alike. Playbooks are packaged as skills. Facts are kept in project memory and carried from run to run. All of it lives in your own storage, versioned.
Each check is a compiled workflow, so most of its steps run as code and call no model. On our benchmark workflow a run costs about a cent. You can see the cost per run while you set it up, and hold to it afterward.
No. The same trees that show a number slipping show one running ahead. It reports openings the same way it reports problems: what it sees, why, what it is worth, what to do, and who decides.
Bring the metric you check first every morning. We will sketch its tree with you and show you what watching it around the clock would look like.
