<![CDATA[The spreadsheet says it is in stock. The shelf says otherwise.]]>Here is a fictional inventory problem: a system shows 12 units available, but the team can locate only four. An AI assistant suggests ordering more immediately.

What would you want checked before anyone acts on that recommendation?

Receiving records, transfers, returns, units of measure, the physical count, or another explanation?

Choose the first check you would make and explain why. Then tell us what useful role AI could play in that step. People who work in warehouses, retail, supply, and operations may approach the same discrepancy differently, which is exactly what makes this worth discussing.
