# For agents: Substitution across application libraries

This deck records dated experimental evidence, not general reliability.

Substituting forecast contracts changed feasibility in a synthetic production-planning experiment.

## On the slide

**A synthetic production-planning experiment**

| Supplied forecast contract | Linear | Recent level |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Forecast units | 24 | 21 |
| Required units, including reserve | 26 | 23 |
| Minimum cost at reduced capacity | $166 | $130 |

Same $140 budget. Different feasibility finding.

## Explanation

An Economics program accepts supplied forecasting work built from Quant contracts. It applies its own decision policy—round the forecast up and add two reserve units—then invokes production planning. Replacing the linear forecast with an explicitly permitted recent-level forecast changes the required quantity. Under the same reduced capacity and $140 budget, one case is infeasible and the other is feasible. The containing commission permits an evidenced infeasibility finding; it does not require the impossible production goal to succeed. These are observed results from historical selected sources and synthetic data. They demonstrate component interaction, not better forecast accuracy or actual business savings.
