Walk the store. Each zone teaches one idea about designing AI agents that find operational problems and hand people something worth checking. Clear all eight to make Operations Architect.

Key termsWhat the words in this game mean
Observation

Something recorded at the moment it happened.

Example: the register logs a scan at 2:14 PM.

Assumption

Someone’s estimate, stored as if it were fact. Test it before trusting it.

Example: “restocking an aisle takes 20 minutes,” set years ago.

Proxy

A stand-in hint. Useful for spotting problems, but it doesn’t measure the thing directly.

Example: “no sales of this item in 3 days” hints it’s stuck, but doesn’t say why.

  • Routing — the list of steps an item goes through, in order.
  • Operation — one step on that list. “Operation 30” just means step 30.
  • Standard — the planned time a step is supposed to take (an assumption).
  • Touch time — time someone actually spends working on it, not waiting.
  • Agent — an AI helper that watches the data and flags things for a person to check.
