I just launched BUS Core — a deterministic microkernel ledger for inventory + manufacturing in small shops.
Core philosophy: no guessing. Explicit authority boundaries, invariant enforcement, fail-fast behavior. If the data can’t be trusted, nothing else matters.
I’m looking for sharp real-world input: what’s the single most painful inventory/manufacturing workflow you deal with today? (receiving, adjustments, BOMs, partial builds, scrap, costing, etc.)
