Strategic Sourcing
Ask the market, score what comes back, and award it on the weights declared beforehand. A new event grows out of the last one.

| Screen | Kind | What it is | Columns | Fields | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Draft & Derive | Workspace | Build an event out of the last one, the contract that is running out, or an order that keeps repeating — then read the document it produced, with every place that needs a person marked beside the paragraph it is about. | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Sourcing Events | List | RFI, RFP and RFQ. The evaluation weights are fixed before anybody bids, and awarding against the ranking has to be said out loud. | 12 | 12 | 4 |
| Responses | List | What each supplier offered, and how it scored on the weights declared before the event opened. | 10 | 4 | 0 |
| e-Auctions | List | A reverse auction only moves one way, and only by the declared decrement — the rule lives in the database, so no bid gets in by another door. | 11 | 10 | 3 |
| Document Templates | List | The skeleton each kind of event is written from. A merge field the platform can answer is filled in; one it cannot stays visible as a placeholder. | 7 | 7 | 0 |
| Sourcing Pipeline | Report | What each event drew and what it saved against its estimate. | 0 | 0 | 0 |
