# Scenarios — question → first file

**Step 2 in the AI fetch order** (after stock-only asks). Stock first if qty/pick-up: [STOCK.md](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/STOCK.md). Still stuck after scenarios → [START_HERE.md](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/START_HERE.md). Full waterfall: [AI-GATES.md](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/AI-GATES.md) · [AI-GATES.txt](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/AI-GATES.txt).

**ChatGPT:** prefer [INDEX.txt](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/scenarios/INDEX.txt) and `.txt` twins of each pack (same content) — ChatGPT often will not open `.md` links.

Brand: **am.co.za** / AM.CO.ZA. Router for client AIs. Generated 2026-09-07 09:25 SAST.

Read **one** scenario pack (or packages/signals/shortcut) instead of crawling the whole tree. Prefer `.md` for AIs. Browser twins are lowercase `.html` siblings (DirectoryIndex: [index.html](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/scenarios/index.html)). All links absolute under `https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/`.

## Rules (short)

- Do not invent prices, restock days, or qty.
- Catalog packs list machines; stock only via packages-available or latest.json links.
- buythis-sales rank ≠ warehouse qty ≠ Inforank/Hot-Cold ≠ company push — see signals.md · online-vs-floor.md.
