Sense

The Sense pillar helps you understand what's happening right now across your inventory, demand signals, and risk indicators.

Operating model: Sense → Decide → Approve → Execute → Improve. Sense is what is true and changing now before planning and policy-gated execution. There is no separate /approve hub in these docs — approvals, authority, and policy gates live under Govern and the loop model.
