Guardrails

Before anything is ordered, every line is checked against the kitchen’s permission slip. The answer is always one of three things, with a sentence you can read:

Result	Meaning
Order alone	Within every rule
Ask a person	Allowed only after someone signs
Stop	Hard no

The same checks run in the kitchen app and again at Valio’s door.

9/9PolicyResult: outcome needs_approval (the worst line), each line with its reasons, the order's reasons, and the rules skipped for lack of data.

What gets checked

Check	In plain words
Slip valid	Permission slip is current and intact
Right key	Request comes from the kitchen’s authorised buyer
Offer signature	Price and stock were really signed by Valio, not stale
Category	Product is allowed for this kitchen
Allergens	No forbidden allergens
Substitute allergens	A swap does not introduce a new allergen
Diet	Claims match kitchen diet rules
Line caps	Quantity within per-product limits
Order spend	Total within the per-order maximum
Rolling spend	Day and week totals within caps
Substitutes	Kitchen substitute policy applied
New products	First-time products need a person
On-time bar	Delivery chance meets the kitchen’s bar
Valio rules	Cut-off, credit, minimum order
Unusual quantity	Far above the usual amount (kitchen side)
Low confidence	Match was unsure (kitchen side)

A human can pre-approve a staple (new product / on-time / confidence) up to a set amount. Learning never weakens diet or budget without a new signed slip.
