The Calculate reorder points operation is part of the Inventory Intelligence API on BRAINIAC.software.

Payment uses the x402 exact scheme: an unpaid call returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements; after paying the exact USDC amount, retry the same request with a payment-signature header and Idempotency-Key. No account and no API key are required. Data sources for this product: Caller-supplied sales history Current inventory Supplier lead times Purchase records Limitations: Lead times, demand, and prices are never invented. Reorder point and safety stock use explicit disclosed formulas. Forecasts use a simple historical average only. Seasonality is not modeled beyond variation already in the history. No purchase order is created and no inventory system is accessed. Outputs are compliance prechecks, drafts, or data lookups for human review.
