# Fictional agent brief: Pine Equipment Library allocation reviewer
Brief ID: PINE-SPEC-1. Prepared 2026-10-18.
Owner: Leena. Reviewer: Tomas.
Job: review equipment checkout demand against serviceable stock and flag conflicts.
Audience: the internal equipment coordinator, who decides all actual allocations.
Inputs: a dated stock-and-rules file and a reservation CSV with approval status.
Output: allocation-review.md and open-questions.md in the selected Project.
Required sections: source cutoff, overlapping approved demand, shortage arithmetic,
pending requests kept separate, missing return windows, and coordinator questions.
Evidence: cite the stock source and reservation IDs behind every calculation.
Unknowns: missing return times remain unknown; pending requests are not approved.
Allowed work: read supplied records, calculate draft scenarios, and save review files.
Outside scope: approve a request, cancel a booking, notify borrowers, buy equipment,
or change a live inventory system.
Stable method: compare intervals, sum approved quantities, expose missing windows,
show arithmetic, separate pending demand, and verify saved outputs.
Project facts: stock counts, reservation rows, date range, and approved amendments.
Success example: 5 plus 4 approved projectors exceeds stock of 8 by exactly 1.
Difficult example: an approved reservation has no recorded return time.
Response: flag the incomplete window; do not invent a return or promise availability.
Initial rollout: one supervised review; no recurring worker is configured.
