Roughly 85% of the work in Assess availability of materials is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.

Why: Lacking seeded child occupations, the scalar is derived directly from the process name 'Assess availability of materials' and its Retail Trade context. Assessing inventory or material levels is fundamentally an information-gathering and analysis task—typically performed by querying POS databases, ERP systems, or supplier portals—placing the work firmly in the digital band.

How the work flows

Trigger: A merchandising plan, replenishment signal, or promotional forecast dictates a need for specific retail products or packaging materials.

  1. Receive demand forecasts and replenishment schedules
  2. Check current on-hand inventory levels across distribution centers and stores
  3. Identify in-transit materials and open orders from suppliers
  4. Compare total available supply against projected demand
  5. Highlight material shortages and potential stockout risks
  6. Communicate availability status and gaps to procurement teams

Outcome: Current and incoming material availability is quantified, shortages are flagged, and supply status is communicated to procurement and merchandising teams.
