01 / NOTICE
A small change enters the picture.
The flour delivery moves to Wednesday. The message is a source record, not a conclusion that Friday is in trouble.

An interactive explanation using fictional records. Move from a changed delivery to a considered decision, and see what each step can—and cannot—establish.
02 / CONNECT
The new record meets the existing plan.
Friday needs 26 bags. The latest count records 8. The relevant context can be inspected beside the supplier update.
Connected contextProduction plan + stock count
03 / CONSIDER
A draft takes shape, with its working.
The example quantity is 18 bags. At $24 each, the subtotal is $432 before delivery and tax. A missing stock count would stop the calculation.
Derived answer26 − 8 = 18 · 18 × $24 = $432
04 / DECIDE
The owner chooses what happens next.
The draft is ready for review. Preparing it does not contact the supplier or permit an order to be sent.
AuthorityOwner review required · nothing ordered
05 / VERIFY
A real outcome needs a real receipt.
In an actual integration, an execution result would show whether the authorized order succeeded, failed, or remained uncertain. This illustration performs no execution.
Result boundaryAn approval is not a completion claim
06 / CARRY FORWARD
The next conversation has a history.
Keep the permitted sources, decision and outcome connected. If a record is corrected, the correction should travel to the conclusions that depended on it.
