DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Keep documented sourcing requirements, supplier evidence, and tentative shortlist comparisons accurate, private, and accountable to a person.

Prepare documented sourcing requirements, supplier evidence, and tentative shortlist comparisons as a private review draft for an accountable owner. A score may reflect incomplete, inconsistent, or biased evidence and should not decide who receives work. Use relevant, disclosed criteria, protect confidential supplier records, verify claims with primary sources, provide a correction path, and require procurement staff to approve invitations, exclusions, and award decisions. Use only necessary, authorized information; explain retention; respect consent and source rights; verify material details; and keep external or consequential actions under accountable human approval.
