How it works here
Read, simulate, gate, recommend. A person approves.
The edition reads the systems this industry already runs, in a read-only sandbox. Every candidate action is simulated against the band it would move and gated on the pessimistic edge. The recommendation carries its readings, its simulation and its checks. Approval creates a change request for the operator's own system, and the outcome is remembered.
