prepare a source-linked supplier relationship brief for a procurement owner to assess. A churn estimate can mistake seasonality, delayed records, or contractual changes for supplier intent. Verify current data and definitions, protect commercial information, label the result as uncertain, avoid treating a score as proof, and require a procurement lead to approve any supplier outreach or change in terms. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
