| Raw vendor payload | Synthetic native, flat logistics, or nested IoT-style sensor payload. |
| Adapter normalization | Map source fields into Data Contract v2. |
| Schema validation | Validate required fields and emit warnings for missing recommended context. |
| Cleaning | Reject duplicates and impossible values; flag dropout, drift, outlier, low-battery, and weak-signal readings. |
| Redundancy consensus | Compare neighboring sensors in a zone/time window for trust and conflict signals. |
| SERS risk score | Advisory proprietary score from excursion severity, consensus, quality issues, door state, humidity, and evidence completeness. |
| Deterministic rule trace | Authoritative rules derive excursion, pallet impact, blockers, and review status. |
| Human-review packet | Reviewer workspace and audit exports; no autonomous action. |
