How it works
The animation on the home page is a convenience. Here is the identical sequence as labelled frames, plus the capabilities behind each step.
The sequence
This is one entry point into Operant — a request that needs checking before a quote goes out. It is not the whole product.
Frame 1 · Arrives
A request lands in one card
Frame 2 · Flagged
One item cannot be trusted yet
Frame 3 · A person decides
The next step has a name on it
Frame 4 · Ready
The quote is prepared for review

Where a person is required
Operant is designed to read, sort, and propose. Changing a price, an order, a financial commitment, or master data is meant to require a person who is allowed to do it.
This is a design requirement for Operant, not a description of a verified implementation.
The preview
A queue of work that needs a decision, one open request, and a visible line between what Operant proposes and what a person authorised.

Readiness
Capabilities behind the sequence — what Operant covers on the path from request to payment.
Channel, attachments, source, requested items, owner, and status held together.
Pulling items, quantities, and dates out of a message and saying what is missing.
Flagging an unclear line instead of guessing, and naming who resolves it.
A responsible person per decision, with the history of what was approved and when.
Options side by side on price, lead time, and terms, ranked but never chosen automatically.
The same lines carried forward so nothing is retyped, with payment state visible.
Connections to the systems you already run, and process metrics on top of them.

One entry point: a customer request with an item that needs checking before a quote is prepared. It is one example of how Operant keeps the next step visible across the wider product.
No. Operant suggests and shows what is missing. Changing a price, an order, a financial commitment, or master data requires a person with the authority to do it.
One real process, what it costs you today, how we would measure improvement, and which Operant capabilities map to that slice.
The formulas are the ones we use in conversation. Scenario numbers are examples you can replace with your own — bring your volume, times, and costs to a pilot discussion.
