Fashion and apparel. By week nine the plan and the assortment have quietly stopped agreeing, and the first person to notice will be whoever places the order.
30 minutes, no deck.
Nothing broke. It just stopped being told
Week three: a colourway is added, in the plan. Week six: the fabric changes, in the tech pack. Week nine: the price moves, in a costing sheet somebody keeps locally. Three true facts about one garment, each recorded once, in three places that have no way of hearing about the other two.
The season does not fall over. It drifts, and the drift surfaces at the buy, when the quantity on the order is against a version of the article that stopped existing a month ago.
The order is placed against the same thing you sketched
One record from the first drawing to the purchase order, so a colourway added in week three is on the order in week twelve without anyone carrying it there.
A tech pack with no second copy
The supplier reads the live one. A change is a change to the pack, not a message about the pack that may or may not reach the person cutting.
A plan made of the real articles
The buying meeting looks at what exists rather than at an export of what existed. Add a style, drop one, recolour one, and the plan has already moved.

Workwear
The tender asks you to prove what a garment is made of. The proof is in an inbox somebody has since left.

Six styles, nine sizes, eleven colours. The catalogue is small and the matrix is not.
