Intake to market, the RFQ assistant
One run from a typed request to a finished document. The machine names the sourcing category and stops once to have it confirmed, then sorts the request into one of eight knowledge folders, reads that folder, drafts the answer with a live web search, and delivers it as a Word file, an email draft or a written reply. Every confirmed category is kept as a record.
I2M, FIRST PILLAR OF S2C
Intake to market
Somebody types what they need. The only stop is agreeing what kind of spend it is.
Intake to market (I2M) runs from the request to the market approach. Market to contract (M2C) takes it from the market approach to offers received. Together they are source to contract (S2C). M2C is in development.

WHERE YOU COME IN
One place, and nowhere else. The machine
names the sourcing category and waits.
You reply Yes, or type the correct one.
Everything after that runs without you.
Your correction is what gets recorded.
WHAT IT ANSWERS FROM
Your own documents first, from whichever
folder the request was sorted into.
A live web search is used only to find
suppliers and market evidence.
An unclear ask goes straight to drafting.
WHAT TO WATCH
How often the proposed category is taken
first time, with no correction.
How many requests end as a finished
document rather than a chat reply.
Which folders are asked for most.
the request moves on
where you decide
what it produces
kept as a record
Every confirmed category is appended to the sourcing record, so the mix of what people ask for can be counted once there is real volume.
