How this diagnostic works for an ICP.
| Business problem | Dead stock, slow-moving stock, excess, stockout risk, and duplicated stock exposure. |
|---|---|
| Buyer owner | CFO, COO, Inventory, Materials, and Supply Chain leaders |
| Trigger event | Dead stock review, excess inventory pressure, stockout risk, slow-moving stock, or critical spare coverage questions. |
| Input data required | Material Id, Quantity |
| Optional fields | Description, Unit Cost, Stock Value, Last Movement Date, Movement Qty, Demand, Criticality, Min Stock, Max Stock, Site, Currency |
| Upload workflow | Upload -> Validate -> Analyze -> Evidence -> Score -> Report -> Action -> Repeat |
| Column mapping | Industrial IQ profiles source-fit, suggests field matches, asks the user to normalize unmapped required fields, then recalculates mapping readiness before the engine runs. |
| Evidence generated | Source-backed evidence rows, reason codes, confidence tiers, review status, assumptions, limitations, and action-owner context. |
| Score output | Inventory health score |
| Report output | InventoryMind AI Inventory Risk Report |
| Confidence tiers | High-confidence findings can move to review; weak or unsafe matches stay in human-review queues. |
| Recurring use case | Monthly or quarterly re-uploads create score history, action progress, benchmark comparison, and renewal value reporting. |
Minimum viable upload and best upload.
| Engine | Required Data File | Required Fields | Optional Fields | Output Generated | Minimum Viable Upload | Best Upload |

| InventoryMind AI | Inventory balance CSV | Material Id, Quantity | Description, Unit Cost, Stock Value, Last Movement Date, Movement Qty, Demand | Inventory health score, evidence, report, actions, score history | Material Id, Quantity | Required fields plus site, value, date, owner, asset, supplier, and criticality context where available. |
What this engine analyzes.
- Dead stock, slow-moving stock, excess inventory, stockout risk, critical spare coverage, and duplicate stock exposure.
- Min/max exception detection and transfer-before-purchase evidence.
- Carrying-cost estimate with sample-vs-uploaded-data labeling.
How the engine matures after the first run.
- ABC/XYZ segmentation, site transfer candidates, inventory policy exceptions, and critical understock queue.
- Inventory health trend by site, value band, criticality, and duplicate-family exposure.
- Executive interpretation for CFO, COO, inventory, procurement, and maintenance.
- Service-level scenario simulator with stock-reduction, stockout-risk, and critical-spare protection assumptions.
- Monthly inventory optimization review with prior-run comparison and renewal value report.
- Benchmark comparison by industry, site type, and critical spare class.
How to read the output.
InventoryMind AI Inventory Risk Report includes Inventory health score, evidence records, confidence tiers, assumptions, limitations, action tracker items, score history, and no-write-back governance language.
How this connects to AI2COE Industrial IQ
Inventory Risk Intelligence is not treated as an isolated content topic. Industrial IQ connects it to uploaded data, engine evidence, confidence tiers, executive reports, actions, score history, and governance review.
InventoryMind AI Documentation buyer enablement checklist.
| Problem solved | Turns an operational data question into source-backed diagnostic evidence. |
|---|---|
| Who cares | CFO, COO, CIO, procurement, maintenance, reliability, ERP, governance, and board stakeholders where relevant. |
| Data needed | CSV exports with stable IDs, descriptions, quantities, values, dates, site, asset, supplier, and owner context where available. |
| Output delivered | Scores, evidence table, confidence tiers, executive report, action tracker items, score history, and governance status. |
| Value quantified | Working capital, carrying cost, emergency premium, dead stock, stockout risk, readiness gaps, or governance risk depending on diagnostic intent. |
| Decision supported | Whether to act, review, normalize data, escalate findings, fund remediation, or repeat the diagnostic cadence. |
| Report shared internally | Executive, CFO, procurement, inventory, readiness, governance, or renewal value report. |
| Recurring value | Baseline score -> re-upload -> score movement -> action closure -> benchmark comparison -> renewal value report. |
| Assumptions and limitations | Benchmarks and estimates remain planning context until customer-specific uploaded data is analyzed and reviewed. |
| Trust controls | No ERP write-back, evidence traceability, confidence tiers, human review, false-positive control, audit trail, and data-retention boundaries. |
