The problem and the proposed outcome

Application: Fisheries and aquaculture — Feed procurement planner
Problem to solve: Procurement ignores growth uncertainty
Target buyer: Aquaculture operators, fishery cooperatives
Intended use: Employee / expert own workflow; internal business solution
Benefit to test: Test whether plans improve relevant operational outcomes while all approved hard constraints remain satisfied.
Potential delivery: Internal application, reviewer dashboard, private assistant or authorized user portal; choose one surface after validating the workflow.

AI method: Predictive planning with constraint optimization
Method code: O
AI contribution: Learn uncertain durations, demand, yields or costs from history, then use a constraint optimizer to propose plans under approved rules.
Output artifact: Candidate plan with assumptions, resource conflicts and reviewer controls.
Core modules: History / constraints → learned estimates → constrained scenarios → planner approval
Simple baseline: Fixed-duration schedules, spreadsheet planning and deterministic optimization.
Why test AI: The AI contribution is learned uncertain estimates. Optimization alone is not counted as sufficient evidence of an AI benefit.

Pilot track: Specialist evaluation
Required data: Feed history; biomass estimates; approved constraints
Data readiness: Relevant history, a specified objective, resource data and expert-approved hard constraints are needed.
First development step: Document objectives and hard constraints, benchmark current planning, and identify which uncertain inputs genuinely require a predictive model.
Initial MVP scope: One defined task, one permitted dataset and one reviewer workflow. Manual upload or authorized export first; no unattended external action. Validate the model before live integration.
Demo data: Synthetic or licensed public samples may illustrate the workflow. Real benefit and model performance need representative authorized held-out data.
Buyer validation question: Ask Aquaculture operators, fishery cooperatives: show a recent case where procurement ignores growth uncertainty, record the present effort or error, and confirm whether the required data can lawfully be used.

Primary success metric: Feed overstock value
Model evaluation: Measure estimate error, hard-constraint violations, schedule performance and operational outcomes against rule-based planning.
Metric target: Set after baseline measurement; no improvement or accuracy result asserted.

Specialist review: Yes
Human review boundary: Qualified domain specialist reviews evidence, interpretation and any consequential action. Start with controlled offline or shadow evaluation; no autonomous clinical, financial, employment, industrial or safety decision.
Domain review: Use consented and authorized records; qualified practitioners review care-related outputs. Research or clinical assistance needs a separate validation pathway before field use.
