## Key Product Concepts

Lyric Studio is built on four layers:
1. **Data** — Enterprise-grade data management with preconfigured integrations and transformation capabilities.
2. **Algorithms** — Library of supply chain algorithms (forecasting, routing, scheduling, inventory optimization, network design) surfaced as Science-as-a-Service.
3. **Workflows** — Composable, orchestrated workflows that can be tailored to specific business processes.
4. **Models & Apps** — Ready-made apps and a composable modeling environment; business users interact via plain-English interfaces backed by real optimization math.

Core design principles:
- **Composable** — solutions adapt to any supply chain; not rigid off-the-shelf software.
- **Glass box** — all math is transparent and auditable; no black boxes.
- **Rapid deployment** — production-ready in weeks, not years.
- **AI-native** — agents and LLMs allow planners to query in plain English and receive verified optimization results.
