Data domains

The inputs the operating model expects.

  • TMS shipment master
  • customer quote requests
  • carrier/co-loader rate cards
  • customer sell tariffs
  • booking confirmations
  • house/master waybills
  • carrier milestones
  • customs documentation
  • agent pre-alerts
  • supplier invoices/accruals

Evidence rules

A connected source is not automatically verified evidence.

  • customer source availability must be checked before claiming readiness
  • connected source is not automatically verified evidence
  • freshness must be evaluated for mission-critical evidence
  • missing evidence remains a visible gap
Inheritance & entitlement

Deeper than Logistics. Never a duplicate of Logistics.

The parent Logistics Industry Pack and this exact Freight Forwarding Specialization Pack must both be ACTIVE or TRIAL. Owning a sibling specialization never substitutes for this one.

Fixed boundaries

What this specialization will not do.

  • advisory and preparatory only
  • no autonomous approval
  • no autonomous business execution
  • no silent entitlement activation
  • no capability invention
  • no parent-capability redefinition
Mission composition

The smallest relevant specialist subset—not the full team by default.

  • The specialization coordinator is required for an assembled specialist team.
  • Only specialists whose registered capabilities match the confirmed mission are selected.
  • Cross-industry Role Packs may join only when separately entitled and relevant.
  • Human approval remains required before mission activation.
