Internal test · fictional data

Internal discussion and test workbench. This is not a customer portal and not evidence that a service is operating. The vendor emails and extractions below are hand-written fictional samples. This page has no backend and no sign-in: it does not read email, upload or store files, send messages, call outside services or ask for credentials. Approvals and edits live in this browser tab only and reset when you reload.

For internal discussion

See which long-lead equipment needs a decision, and why

LongLead Watch is a proposed service, still being explored. AI would organize agreed vendor updates into a date register with source references. A human reviewer would check the sources and matches. Change notes and follow-up drafts stay subject to that review, and the buyer decides what to send. The page below shows what that could look like, using five fictional equipment lines.

Fictional data throughout. Nothing here is a live service, and demo approvals reset when you reload the page.

What a buyer could receive

Sample weekly delivery-risk report

Fictional demonstration data
How to read this: the approved register is what the buyer already holds. A pending vendor update is a date the supplier proposed that a person has not yet approved. Pending dates are never treated as approved.
Values come from the same dataset as the walkthrough, the dashboard and the CSV export. Delivery buffer = required-on-site date minus calculated arrival, in calendar days. The arrival is calculated, not vendor-confirmed, so every buffer here is Unconfirmed. It is not a proven schedule float. Schedule impact needs the PM's confirmation.
The intended service

How the proposed service would work

1
Organize
AI organizes agreed vendor updates into a date register with source references, and proposes extracted dates.
2
Review
A human reviewer checks the sources and matches, and flags missing or unconfirmed information. Change notes stay subject to review.
3
Deliver
The buyer receives the date register, a delivery-risk summary and follow-up drafts. The buyer decides what to send.

We are exploring this service. It is not operating today. This page uses simulated extraction on hand-written sample emails, not live AI or email access. Reviewer capacity and cadence are not settled. This is not round-the-clock monitoring, and nothing is approved automatically.

What the desk would and would not do

Would

  • Organize the vendor updates the buyer agrees to share
  • Keep a date register with source references
  • Have a human check sources and matches before a change note is final
  • Draft follow-ups for the buyer to review and send

Would not

  • Guarantee delivery
  • Contact suppliers on its own
  • Change purchase orders
  • Update the buyer's own systems
  • Make technical, commercial or project decisions
  • Monitor around the clock or approve automatically
The buyer controls vendor messages, updates to its own systems, and technical, commercial and project decisions. Any schedule impact is Unconfirmed until the PM confirms it.

The same five fictional lines and dates, with the vendor email, the proposed extraction, the review step and the follow-up draft for each. Select a line to review it.

Equipment register

Select a line to review it. Dates are shown as month, day, year. The CSV is created in this browser and nothing is uploaded.
Status PO & Line Tag & Equipment Vendor Required on Site Ship Date Transit (days) Est. Arrival (calc., unconfirmed) Delivery Buffer (calc., unconfirmed) Vendor Update
Delivery buffer = required-on-site date minus estimated arrival. Estimated arrival = ship date plus the stated transit days, and stays Unconfirmed until the vendor or buyer confirms it. Transit time and the required-on-site date are kept separate. This demo counts calendar days. It is not a proven schedule float.
