Direct in-platform ordering capabilities are being rolled out in stages through quote, order, and payment-link workflows.

- AI chat assistant for bearing search, cross-reference, and fitment guidance
- Deterministic selection calculator workflows (L10/fit-oriented compute APIs)
- Quote cart, sourcing request, and order-tracking workflows
- Failure-diagnosis upload flow with structured outcome reporting

- Telemetry and engineering decision-event capture for learning-loop analytics
- MCP endpoint for external AI hosts, plus ChatGPT app dev-mode integration surface
