Planning

Key takeaways
- Weather, competition and trends enter as governed sources.
- Signals are mapped onto semantic categories, not raw SKUs.
- The planner sees which signal moved the forecast.
ERP, PLM, CRM and documents keep provenance and version.
Governed public data
Weather per market, competitor assortments and price moves, search and social trends each arrive as a source with refresh and permissions.
They are stored as signals, with their own layer in the platform.
Mapping to meaning
A heat wave matters to outerwear in Germany, not to leather goods in Japan: mapping happens on semantic categories and markets.
That is why a planner can read the reason, not just the revised number.
Keeping judgement
The Orchestrator proposes the revision; the planner accepts, adjusts or rejects it, and the platform remembers the decision.
Over a season that memory becomes the planning rulebook.
