What your score means

Use the score to decide what needs structure.

The result helps show whether sourcing is still exploratory, needs clearer structure, or is ready for a private supplier review across specification, cost, quality, logistics, timing, and downstream sales.

What to review next

Move from signal to review.

Review product specifications, quantity range, landed cost, quality requirements, shipping terms, timing, inventory carrying cost, supplier decision criteria, and how the product will move after sourcing.
