A breaking news event — a port strike, earthquake, or tariff escalation — is pasted into SupplyBand. A Coordinator Agent reads the event and the company's supplier database, then recruits four specialist agents through Band to investigate independently. The Supplier Impact Agent classifies affected suppliers as Tier-1 or Tier-2 and flags critical-path components that would halt production. The Financial Exposure Agent calculates risk in dollars across three scenarios — 1 week, 3 weeks, and 6+ weeks of disruption — using inventory buffers and revenue contribution data. The Regulatory & Trade Agent checks whether the disruption triggers force majeure clauses, export controls, or insurance notification deadlines, turning the system into a regulated workflow with real legal obligations. The Alternative Sourcing Agent then reads everything posted so far and ranks the top three backup suppliers by lead time, cost premium, and regulatory risk. The Coordinator reads all four findings and produces a single executive brief: a plain-English situation summary, a severity rating, a clear AUTO_RESOLVE or ESCALATE_TO_HUMAN verdict, and the top three recommended actions with deadlines. Every agent handoff and every finding lives permanently in the Band room as an audit trail a human Supply Chain VP can review before approving. We built this because supply chain teams currently spend days manually assembling exactly this information across disconnected spreadsheets, emails, and legal reviews. SupplyBand compresses that into a transparent, live multi-agent pipeline a human can review and approve in minutes. This project is still being actively built — the agent pipeline and Band room are functional, with frontend polish and final demo scenarios in progress.
