    name: 'Schedule entry stalls the operating application'
    status: approved
    statement_type: market_hypothesis
    applies_to_icp_ids: []
    situation: >-
      Production staff enter or revise production schedules in the company's
      operating application during normal business activity.
    operational_mismatch: >-
      The application cannot maintain usable interactive performance while
      production schedules are being entered. The schedule-entry workload
      causes the operating system to stall rather than remaining available for
      the work being performed.
    possible_consequences:
      - 'Staff must wait, stop, or retry while entering production schedules.'
    observable_signals:
      - 'Users describe the system as grinding to a halt during schedule entry.'
      - 'Slowdowns coincide with production-schedule updates.'
      - >-
        The affected users cannot continue normal data entry while the stall is
        occurring.
    disconfirming_signals:
      - >-
        A representative peak-load test completes schedule entry with stable
        response times and no application, database, or locking stalls.
      - >-
        Scheduling staff report no recurring interruption during normal entry
        volume.
    confirmation_questions: []
    evidence_requirement: >-
      Identification of the affected application plus one observed occurrence
      with concurrent-user count, operation performed, duration, response time,
      and relevant application or database monitoring.
    evidence_ids: []
    prohibited_claims:
      - >-
        That the database, network, application code, or a named vendor causes
        the stall before diagnosis.
      - 'That the system loses or corrupts schedule data.'
      - 'Any quantified productivity or downtime cost.'
