Roughly 85% of the work in Determine availability 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: Grounded in the APQC lens 'Develop and manage sales plans' and the process description, which centers on querying inventory, production capacity, and workforce availability to fulfill orders. This is remotely-doable information and resource-planning work performed via ERP or inventory management systems, pointing firmly to a digital value step.
