INDUSTRY 5 (i5) Feature List

Demand Planning & Forecasting

Accurately sense, shape, and align demand signals across internal and external sources, time horizons, and granularity—while continuously adjusting forecasts based on real-world volatility and feedback.

Generate forecasts using historical sales, seasonality, and market trends.

i5 generates forecasts via agent logic using synthetic, historical, or integrated data inputs. Forecast agents apply curve shaping and time-relative reasoning across products and regions.

Historical Sales Curve Engine
  • Forecast Agent applies shape modeling using prior sales data per SKU, region, or channel. Captures repeatable behavior without static models.
Synthetic Seasonality Modeling
  • i5 uses time-relative logic to model seasonal peaks and lulls, even without multi-year historical data. Seasonality can be simulated forward.
Demand Signal Normalization
  • Input data (sales, orders, POS, etc.) is normalized across sources and aligned to orchestration time layers before forecast shaping.
SKU-Channel Hierarchy Support
  • Forecasts are calculated and stored by product, site, customer segment, or other custom hierarchies, maintaining traceability and roll-up.
Sales Agent Input Reconciliation
  • Sales team inputs (volume guesses, new launches) are reconciled against system-generated forecasts using confidence scoring logic.
Forecast Curve Preview & Override
  • Users can view the proposed forecast curve, compare alternatives, and override forecast points within simulation before confirming.
Forecast Traceability Layer
  • Each forecast value is linked to the underlying source data and agent input (e.g., “This spike reflects Sales input + 2023 Q4 shape”) for explainability.

Support forecast granularity by region, product, channel, and customer segment.

Forecasts are structured by any dimension defined in the orchestration input schema (e.g., site, customer, SKU). All outputs are linked to these entities within the i5 Graph.

Multi-Dimensional Forecast Structure
  • Forecasts are modeled across any dimensional stack defined in orchestration schema: product, customer, site, channel, segment, etc.
Hierarchical Roll-Up & Drill-Down
  • Users and agents can view forecast values rolled up by category (e.g., global demand) or drilled down to granular nodes (e.g., SKU/customer/site).
Agent-Aligned Forecast Ownership
  • Each forecast dimension can be mapped to a responsible agent role—e.g., Sales Agent owns customer segment X, Demand Agent owns SKU Y.
Granularity-Aware Simulation Engine
  • Scenario simulations maintain full forecast hierarchy—impacts flow through all levels without flattening or losing attribution.
Contextual Conflict Resolution
  • When different agent roles propose values at different hierarchy levels (e.g., Sales overrides region, Ops adjusts SKU), the system reconciles intelligently.
Selective Locking & Override Rules
  • Users can lock certain dimensions or hierarchy levels during cycles (e.g., lock customer totals, let SKUs flex), supporting managed forecast shaping.
Dynamic Hierarchy Adjustments
  • Forecasts can be restructured mid-cycle (e.g., split a region, reclassify SKUs) without breaking existing simulation threads or agent logic.

Allow cross-functional forecast input and override by stakeholders.

Forecasts can be refined by multiple agent roles (Sales, Inventory, Production). Human users can preview, override, or simulate changes before committing.

Role-Based Forecast Contribution
  • Forecast values can be proposed by different stakeholders or agents (Sales, Inventory, Production), each with scoped authority.
Agent Collaboration Threading
  • Each agent’s input is time-stamped, scored, and reconciled through forecast collaboration logic—no data overwrite, only intelligent merging.
Input Visibility & Justification Layer
  • Users see who entered which forecast value, when, and why—ensuring override transparency and accountability.
Manual Override with Impact Preview
  • Human overrides trigger forward simulations to show downstream effect before they’re committed.
Override Governance Configuration
  • Rules can require justification for overrides beyond thresholds or require approval escalation (e.g., if >20% over system-generated).
Confidence-Weighted Input Blending
  • If multiple agents propose inputs, final forecast uses a weighted blend based on historical accuracy or scenario fitness.
User Interface for Forecast Alignment
  • UI provides a structured environment for reviewing, commenting on, and negotiating forecast values before orchestration.

Provide multiple forecast models (statistical, ML-based, heuristic).

i5 uses curve-shaped synthetic generation and can incorporate ML signals via custom inputs. Native forecast models are not off-the-shelf statistical engines.

Forecast Method Selection Interface
  • Users or agents can select from multiple methods (synthetic curve, moving average, regression, external ML) based on use case.
Synthetic Forecast Generation Engine
  • i5 natively generates demand curves using embedded logic—not regression models—optimized for agent-driven orchestration.
External Model Integration API
  • External statistical or ML models (e.g., Prophet, XGBoost) can be ingested into i5 via structured inputs. Results are treated as agent proposals.
Scenario-Based Model Evaluation
  • Models can be tested across scenarios to see which method performs better under volatility, demand spikes, or product launch.
Heuristic Logic Modules
  • Prebuilt rule sets (e.g., “repeat last year plus 10%”, “fill rate based forecast”) available for segments with limited history.
Model-Agnostic Forecast Threading
  • Forecasts generated by different methods can coexist as parallel proposals—evaluated by confidence, convergence, or override logic.
Model Attribution Tagging
  • Each forecast line retains metadata for which model created it, with links to training assumptions, version, and last run logic.

Adjust forecasts based on current execution signals (e.g., order, inventory, transport).

Agents continuously simulate forward impact and adjust forecasts as actuals evolve. Real-time updates are scored and propagated through the orchestration graph.

Live Execution Signal Ingestion
  • Forecast Agent receives and processes signals from orders, production status, shipment delays, and inventory changes in real time.
Forecast Volatility Adjustment Logic
  • When actuals deviate from plan, the system reweights forecast trend curves to reflect changing behavior patterns.
Auto-Correction with Threshold Triggers
  • Forecasts are adjusted only when deviation crosses defined thresholds (e.g., ≥15% off-plan), avoiding overreaction.
Execution-Aware Forecast Confidence Updates
  • Forecasts with rising deviation or missed commitments automatically drop in confidence score—driving downstream caution.
Upstream & Downstream Cascade Logic
  • Execution signals at one node (e.g., stockout in Europe) can prompt demand forecast changes elsewhere (e.g., US replenishment).
Agent-Based Signal Resolution
  • Signals are first interpreted by the appropriate agent (e.g., Inventory, Transport), then passed to Forecast Agent with recommendation.
Simulation Preview of Signal Impact
  • Before adjusting the official forecast, users can simulate the expected downstream effects of a proposed correction.

Provide automated confidence scoring for forecast lines.

Forecast confidence scores are generated natively by Forecast Agents using historical variance, agent alignment, and simulation divergence.

Confidence Score Generator
  • Forecast Agent assigns a 0–100 score to each forecast node, indicating how reliable the prediction is based on known data and agent alignment.
Historical Forecast Error Tracking
  • Confidence is adjusted based on historical deviation between forecasted and actual demand across relevant timeframes.
Agent Disagreement Index
  • Score incorporates divergence between agent roles (Sales, Ops, Inventory) if forecasts differ significantly.

Execution Feedback Integration
  • Real-world feedback from recent deliveries or plan adherence feeds back into the scoring logic in near real-time.
Forecast Confidence Color Coding
  • Confidence scores are displayed in UI with intuitive visual signals (e.g., red = low trust, green = high trust) to support review.
Threshold-Driven Alerts and Overrides
  • When confidence drops below defined thresholds, system prompts agents to either simulate alternatives or escalate for review.

Detect and resolve conflicting forecast inputs (e.g., Sales vs. Ops).

Conflicts are flagged, and resolution is proposed by comparing simulation outputs. Confidence-weighted negotiation logic ensures agent alignment.

Conflict Detection Engine
  • System monitors input deltas across agent roles and flags forecast nodes where values diverge beyond defined thresholds.
Confidence-Weighted Resolution Logic
  • Resolution favors inputs with higher historical accuracy or agent alignment strength—configurable per business rule.
Simulation-Based Tie Breaker
  • When two or more inputs are equally weighted, the system runs downstream simulations to determine which input performs better.
Stakeholder Override Workflow
  • Conflicts unresolved by agents are surfaced to a human user or planning team for manual resolution and justification.
Input Source Attribution
  • Each input is tagged by agent role and submission method (e.g., API, UI, ML), helping teams understand where conflicts originate.
Override Logging and Versioning
  • Resolved forecast lines are versioned, and the rationale for final input selection is preserved for audit and future reference.
Recurring Conflict Pattern Detection
  • Repeated disagreement patterns (e.g., Sales always over-forecasts a certain region) are flagged over time for process improvement.

Integrate demand signals from external sources (e.g., weather, market events).

External signals can be added via orchestration inputs or API calls; not mined automatically today. Agents respond to structured signals, not raw data.

External Signal Ingestion API
  • Structured API allows posting of exogenous signals such as weather, events, promotions, market trends, or economic indicators.
Signal-to-Forecast Mapping Engine
  • Signals are mapped to relevant forecast nodes (e.g., signal: “hurricane in Gulf” ? SKU/site/region = Houston; product class = generators).
Impact Weighting Configuration
  • Signals can be weighted by expected impact size and likelihood. Agents use this metadata to scale forecast adjustments accordingly.
Event Horizon Modeling
  • Signals can include time windows (e.g., “festival: Q3 Week 12–13”) to apply forecast lift or suppression for that period only.
Simulation-Based Signal Validation
  • Before applying, signal impact can be simulated in a sandbox to preview effect on demand plans and orchestration response.
Manual and Automated Signal Posting
  • Users can post signals via UI; integrated partners can post automatically via webhook or orchestration flow.
Signal Attribution and Expiration Control
  • Each signal is tagged with origin, time-to-live, and removal logic—ensuring forecast adjustments don’t persist after context ends.
