Process Narrative: A customer orders a fiber broadband bundle (internet + phone + TV). The commercial order in sn_ind_tmt_orm_order has 3 line items. The Decomposition Engine evaluates rules from the product catalog and generates: 3 Product Orders (broadband, voice, IPTV), 5 Service Orders (data service, voice service, multicast service, plus resource-facing transport and access services), 4 Resource Orders (ONT device, OLT port, IP address block, SIM card), and 15+ Order Tasks (install ONT, configure OLT port, provision IP, activate services, run line test, schedule technician). Each task is sequenced on a Gantt timeline with dependency management. Jeopardy Management monitors every task against SLA milestones. When all tasks complete, the system triggers two parallel actions: write to Installed Base (sn_install_base_sold_product + sn_install_base_item), and send billing activation to Aria via Integration Hub.
