## The situation
A small lab depends on consumables, batches, dates, suppliers and critical thresholds to avoid blocking work.

## What you want
I want to avoid running out of a basic consumable that blocks a whole batch.

## A plain AI chat
An AI chat suggests a stock method, but it does not track batches, dates, thresholds and real orders.

## With Bruno
Bruno flags low thresholds, near dates and orders to launch or follow up.

## Agents involved
