Procurement Window
Open a routed buying window when MESO-1 demand recovery crosses the operator conviction floor.
Trigger conditions
· MESO-1 conviction ≥ floor
· Operator approval in Mission Control
· Lane density below saturation
Ecosystem
Forge meets the operator where they already work.
Industrial businesses run on dozens of disconnected systems — ERPs, spreadsheets, inboxes, mill phone calls. The ecosystem is how Forge turns those surfaces into one operating layer: pre-built plays for routine decisions, integrations into the systems already in place, and access on every channel an operator uses.
Forge / Plays
Pre-built operator workflows.
Plays are routable workflows tuned to specific market conditions. Activate one and Forge handles the orchestration — you keep control over the calls that matter.
Aging Lot Clearing
Detect lots crossing the holding-cost threshold and route them into priority buyer lanes before drag compounds.
Trigger conditions
· MESO-1 conviction ≥ floor
· Operator approval in Mission Control
· Lane density below saturation
Margin Hedge Sequence
Stage a hedged exit against forecasted spread compression, with conviction-weighted sizing routed through Provenance.
Trigger conditions
· MESO-1 conviction ≥ floor
· Operator approval in Mission Control
· Lane density below saturation
Forge / Surfaces
In every workflow, at every step.
Forge runs in your operations terminal, surfaces decisions in Slack, and pushes routable alerts to mobile. The operating layer follows the operator — not the other way around.

Forge / Plays
Operators design the decisions Forge runs.
A play is a wired workflow — triggers, conditions, and actions an operator composes once and Forge runs continuously. No code, no SQL. Drop a trigger, set the threshold, route the action to the channel that already moves your shop.
