9. I need some Grade 2 white alpaca,
   some Grade 3 white alpaca,
   some white merino wool, and
   some white romney wool.
   Questions:
   ●
   What’s a reasonable quantity for “some”?
   ●
   Who gets that message? Everybody in the network? One farmer? One spinner?
   ●
   In Valueflow terms, does the Designer use a recipe to plan a set of processes for
   the whole supply chain?
   ●
   Does each Process include a Request for a Process Agent to fulfill the input
   requirements?
   ●
   Should the planning algorithm stop if it finds some inventory at some stage and
   request those resources and be done?
   ●
   Or does the Designer send a set of Requests to each Agent for them to plan a
   Process to fulfill the Designer’s requirements at that stage in the supply chain?
   ●
   Or does the Designer send a Request to the Spinner, who sends a Request to
   the Scourer, who sends a Request to the Farmer?
