Oversight Agent

Planned (Phase 4) The oversight agent is the always-on watcher. It doesn’t drive any individual workflow — it watches all of them and surfaces what’s slipping. Managers get the visibility they currently have to assemble by hand from email threads.

What it tracks

For every RFQ that’s ever entered the pipeline:
  • Which have a style record
  • Which have a BOM draft
  • Which have a true cost draft
  • Which have a quotation
  • Which quotations were sent
  • Which clients replied
  • Which inquiries went cold
  • Which staff are delayed

Why this matters

Today, missed opportunities at VinMake come from:
  • Staff replying slowly
  • RFQs not being followed up
  • Clients stopping mid-thread
  • Inquiries going cold with nobody noticing
  • Managers lacking clean visibility
  • Email threads being too long and fragmented to scan
The oversight agent exists to make those failure modes visible before they cost an order.

Pipeline view

The oversight dashboard surface (in the Inbox / Task / Engine UI) shows every active RFQ as a row: Managers can filter, sort, and drill into any row.

Risk detection

The agent flags specific risk patterns and routes them to the right person: Thresholds (N hours, N days) are configurable per workflow stage.

Manager alerts

Example surfaced alerts:
“Jaspal style J26WGW153 has a tech pack and style record, but no true cost draft after 2 days.”
“Quotation was sent to Lulus 7 days ago with no client reply. Recommend follow-up.”
“3 RFQs are waiting for human approval before style creation.”
Alerts route to:
  • The owner for normal-priority slips
  • The manager for ownership gaps or extended cold inquiries
  • The Inbox as a Risk tagged item that anyone with the right role can see

What it doesn’t do

The oversight agent doesn’t take action on its own. It surfaces, it flags, it recommends. Following up with a client, reassigning an RFQ, or escalating a price issue are human decisions.
