Supplier Discovery & Qualification
Find, qualify, and shortlist suppliers for a procurement need.
Steps
- Parse search intent — extract query terms, filters (state, certification, industry).
- Call
supplier_search with extracted filters and maxResults: 20.
- For top 5-10 results:
- Call
load_relationship to check for existing relationship and health score.
- Call
supplier_performance to review performance trajectory.
- Score candidates: relevance (40%) + cert match (25%) + health (20%) + performance (15%).
- Present ranked shortlist with per-supplier recommended action.
Decision Points
- Existing relationship + health >= 70: "Re-engage for project".
- New supplier + certs active: "Initiate onboarding".
- Cert expired: exclude from diversity count, note for outreach.
- Only 1-2 results: warn about concentration risk, suggest broadening search.
Output Format
Ranked table: Company | Location | Certifications | Health | Score | Action
Include "Diversity Impact" section estimating how new engagement affects diversity %.
