Rules enforced in code — at the moment of the action, not in a binder.

You came in because compliance is the thing that can cost you your license — and right now it lives in a binder and a hope that everyone on the floor followed the rule.

Most systems log a compliance event and hope. Here the rule is enforced where the action happens: vertical-ID stops the cart, a lapsed vendor license is red on the vendor record and on /compliance before the next PO goes out, and trade samples block at the quarterly cap. Every state change writes to an immutable log.
