Interdisciplinary features

Live cross-team ripple alerts

When Supply Chain locks JIT, Logistics instantly receives "zero-error delivery now required". Cross-functional consequences become visible in real time.

No information leakage

Each team only sees their own discipline's screens. The ripple alerts are the only signal — students learn to communicate horizontally, not snoop.
