Illustrative scenario with fictional records. The walkthrough runs locally; no live business systems or AI services are called.The answer starts
across your business.
A supplier update alone cannot tell you what is exposed. Metabuild connects it to the orders, deliveries and payments that depend on that supplier.

One question. Four parts of the business. A shared view of the impact.
One answer.
With reasons.
“Three customer orders are exposed, with R 900,000 in linked order value.”
The agent finds an existing query vetted by a data analyst. That known query carries high confidence in its reviewed logic. Metabuild presents the result as a readable answer with the affected orders and their evidence.
A new question can require a custom query. Its answer stays provisional until the analyst has vetted the new logic.
Query confidence and data quality are different: even a vetted query needs current, complete sources. Order value describes delivery exposure, not a forecast loss.
When the facts change,
the answer should too.
At 10:15, replacement stock is confirmed for one order. Explore how a new delivery update changes the exposed orders, linked payments and proposed response.

Read the complete four-stage walkthrough
- Ask the agent. Start a conversation about the supplier disruption. MCP gives the agent access to permitted queries and query-building tools.
- Reuse a vetted query. The agent finds the analyst-vetted supplier-exposure query, labels its logic high confidence and creates a readable answer with evidence.
- Create a new query. Ask which exposed orders exceed R 250,000. The custom query returns a provisional result and a local demo notification queues analyst review.
- Review and reuse. Explore the analyst’s checks. Simulate vetting to make the new query available as a known query for the same purpose, then prepare a permitted follow-up.
