[Behavioral] Tell me about a time a supplier issue put real pressure on your team or business. How did you handle it?

I remember a situation where a supplier committed to a date that later started to slip, and the issue was tied to a time-sensitive internal project. The pressure built quickly because several teams were already planning around the original date, and people were looking for a fast answer before the actual recovery path was clear.

I pulled together the supplier facts, clarified what had actually changed, and aligned the internal team around the real exposure instead...
