supplycorpus / corpus / lead-times
// corpus dimension 15 of 17
Quoted is not delivered.
Quoted lead times, delivery reality, backlog. Schedule risk is a price you pay in weeks.
// what the corpus holds
Quoted leads. What they publish and quote for typical work.
Delivery signals. Evidence of on-time performance where it exists.
Backlog. The queue your job goes to the back of.
Expedite posture. Shops that can break in a hot job, and what it costs.
// why it decides sourcing
A four week quote from a shop that ships in twelve is worse than an honest ten. We weigh what a shop actually delivers against what it promises, because your production schedule only runs on one of those.
