How it works
Same pipeline as the live Sourcing Agent module.

Publish the RFQ
Set evaluation criteria with weights that sum to 100%, invite qualified suppliers, and exclude blocked vendors.

Collect and score bids
Normalize cost, lead time, warranty, payment terms, and supplier risk into a weighted matrix and rank respondents.
