Seven qualified firms delivered accepted material during the past year, and all seven remain under active purchasing agreements. Despite that roster, two long-standing firms furnished 76% of the usable tonnage and hold 81% of the orders scheduled for the next two quarters. The other five divide the remaining purchases into small lots.\n\nThe two high-volume firms are separately owned, draw from unrelated deposits, refine at different facilities, and ship through different ports. They do not share workforces, utilities, lenders, or freight contractors. Each of the five smaller firms has passed full production trials and has reserved capacity sufficient to replace either large firm's monthly volume within the required four-day lead time; plant inventory covers six days. Nevertheless, a recent 36-hour documentation hold at one high-volume firm forced planners to reissue most of that week's purchase orders and placed nearly half of the plant's incoming material under exception handling at once.","scenario_title":"Seven Qualified Sources, Two Dominant Order Books","vocabulary_separation_audit":"This case uses industrial purchasing language—silica, furnaces, tonnage, deposits, and purchase orders—distinct from the permitting vocabulary of the transfer cases."},{"alternative_route_blocks":[{"blocked_by_condition_id":"b021_a05_c4","condition_set_id":"B2","how_blocked":"The panels are independent entities with different staff, systems, financing, insurers, and locations, and no common subcontractor or regional exposure."},{"blocked_by_condition_id":"b021_a05_c5","condition_set_id":"B3","how_blocked":"Each of the other panels is legally and operationally able to take over a leading panel's caseload within the statutory deadline."}],"case_id":"E14A007__TRANSFER","case_type":"TRANSFER_POSITIVE","domain":"Municipal building-permit review","intended_route_id":"B1","omitted_condition_id":null,"remedy_leakage_audit":"The statement describes routing, decision shares, independence, and backlog effects without recommending a change to the review process.","route_evidence":[{"condition_id":"b021_a05_c1","intended_status":"SATISFIED","scenario_evidence":"The bureau sends permit files to nine authorized technical panels, all used monthly."},{"condition_id":"b021_a05_c3","intended_status":"SATISFIED","scenario_evidence":"Two panels issue 74% of final technical clearances and receive nearly four-fifths of urgent files."}],"scenario_text":"A fast-growing city's building-permit bureau sends structural and fire-safety files to nine authorized technical panels. Every panel receives work each month, and a permit cannot be issued until one panel signs the final technical clearance. Legacy intake rules, however, direct common building types to two familiar panels. Those two panels issued 74% of all clearances last year and received nearly four-fifths of urgent files; the remaining seven handled scattered specialty and overflow cases.\n\nThe panels are independent nonprofit entities located in different states. They use separate staff, case systems, insurers, funding sources, and document repositories, with no shared subcontractor or regional hazard. Their statutory mandates and quality thresholds are equivalent. Each of the seven lightly used panels has demonstrated enough staffed throughput to assume either busy panel's full weekly docket while still meeting the city's review deadline. Even so, when one busy panel lost three signatories to illness for a week, the bureau's overall pending-file count rose sharply because so much routine routing was already passing through that panel.","scenario_title":"Permit Clearances Clustered in Two Panels","vocabulary_separation_audit":"The transfer case replaces material sourcing with administrative routing and uses panels, dockets, signatories, statutory mandates, and clearances rather than manufacturing terms."},{"alternative_route_blocks":[{"blocked_by_condition_id":"b021_a05_c4","condition_set_id":"B2","how_blocked":"The boards have separate organizations, personnel, technology, financing, records, and locations, with no shared operational or geographic cause linking them."},{"blocked_by_condition_id":"b021_a05_c5","condition_set_id":"B3","how_blocked":"Every board can accept another board's full weekly queue without missing service or accuracy requirements."}],"case_id":"E14A007__NEAR_MISS","case_type":"ONE_LITERAL_NEAR_MISS","domain":"Professional-license application review","intended_route_id":"B1","omitted_condition_id":"b021_a05_c3","remedy_leakage_audit":"The statement presents workload, authority, independence, and delay facts only; it neither identifies an intervention nor implies one.","route_evidence":[{"condition_id":"b021_a05_c1","intended_status":"SATISFIED","scenario_evidence":"Applications are assigned among nine active credential-review boards."},{"condition_id":"b021_a05_c3","intended_status":"CONTRADICTED","scenario_evidence":"Work, signing power, records, spare throughput, and reassignment control are evenly dispersed; no small group holds a majority of any of them."}],"scenario_text":"A state professional-licensing agency assigns complex applications among nine credential-review boards.

Urgent files followed the same pattern.\n\nNo pair or small cluster controls most of the signing power, case information, unused throughput, or authority to accept reassigned work. The boards have equivalent legal mandates, and their records are available to the agency as decisions are filed. They are separately incorporated, operate in different cities, and maintain distinct personnel, technology, funding, insurers, and specialist rosters. There is no common contractor or local event capable of disabling several boards together. Capacity exercises also show that every board can accept another board's full weekly queue without breaching the agency's timing or accuracy requirements. Applicants nevertheless report unpredictable completion dates because several boards experience unrelated, short-lived queue spikes during the same quarter.","scenario_title":"Variable Licensing Delays Across Evenly Used Boards","vocabulary_separation_audit":"The near miss retains the transfer case's regulatory-review setting and comparable operational detail while using licensing-specific terms and explicitly removing any dominant minority."}],"experiment_id":"eoa_inverse_innovation_exp14_applicability_retrieval40_20260813","sample_id":"E14A007","schema_version":1}
