Supplier Mapping

Use this skill when a case requires supplier-aware decision support.

Goals

• connect technical needs to supplier categories
• preserve the difference between category fit and final procurement decision
• identify missing supplier metadata before commitment
• maintain a reusable supplier record structure

Required workflow

1. identify the target stack block or procurement need
2. identify technical criteria and blocking constraints
3. map candidate supplier or material categories
4. distinguish evidence from supplier claims
5. highlight missing qualification data
6. update or reference:
   • supplier catalog template
   • supplier normalization
