Requisition & PO Challenger Agent argues the recommendation leans on 3 quarters of data from a period with no volume shock. more
Break conditions
- ·Override rate rises above 12 percent for two consecutive months
- ·Cost per requisition stops falling while volume keeps rising
- ·A control failure in this lane reaches a customer or a regulator
Evidence gaps
- ·No independent test of the control evidence behind the touchless rate
| Alternative considered | Cost | Risk | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hold the current position | $325k run rate | Known and priced. Cedes ground if comparators move faster. | live |
| Raise the ceiling one level now | $1390k to build controls | Override rate is 12 percent; raising the ceiling before that settles imports the error into production. | rejected on evidence |
| Move the exception tail to the spine | $871k transition | Loses local context. Rework risk on the cases that are hardest to recover. | under review |
