SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openpyxl, pandas, xlsxwriter, plotly, matplotlib.

What problem does it solve? Comparing a pile of returned RFQ/RFP responses is slow and inconsistent when done by hand. This Skill turns supplier responses into a defensible sourcing decision by applying weighted scoring, total cost of ownership modeling, and supplier risk assessment, then naming a winning bidder with documented rationale. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Weighted supplier scoring: Scores each supplier across five areas (capability, technical/quality, supply chain, cost, partnership) on a 10-point scale with configurable weight presets (default, aggressive, quality-first). - TCO modeling: Builds Year 1–5 total cost of ownership breakouts covering unit price, logistics, duty, quality cost, payment term value, and currency exposure. - Three mandatory deliverables: Produces an Excel scoring workbook (openpyxl/pandas/xlsxwriter), a self-contained multi-tab HTML dashboard (radar, TCO, risk heat map, comparison), and an executive markdown recommendation. - Use Case: Point the Skill at a folder of supplier workbooks after an RFP closes; it scores every bidder, flags financial/quality/cyber risks, classifies suppliers as strategic, preferred, or transactional, and recommends single-source or dual-source award. ## Quick Start Run the rfq-analysis skill on my folder of supplier RFP responses to score the bids, model total cost of ownership, and recommend a winning supplier.

Frequently Asked Questions about rfq-analysis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I score and compare RFP responses from multiple suppliers?

Point the skill at a folder of supplier workbooks or a single Excel with supplier-per-sheet. It applies weighted scoring across five evaluation areas on a 10-point scale, then ranks suppliers and classifies each as strategic, preferred, or transactional.

What is total cost of ownership modeling in supplier evaluation?

TCO modeling goes beyond headline price to include logistics, duty, quality costs, payment term value, and currency exposure across Year 1 through Year 5. The skill supports shallow mode (price plus logistics) or deep mode with all cost components.

Can I customize the scoring weights for an RFQ evaluation?

Yes, weights are configurable via the --weights flag with default, aggressive, or quality-first presets, or loaded from the procurement profile config. Defaults are 30% capability, 25% technical, 20% supply chain, 15% cost, and 10% partnership.

What output files does an RFQ analysis produce?

Every run produces three deliverables saved to a dated output folder: an Excel scoring workbook with per-criteria sheets and a risk register, a self-contained interactive HTML dashboard with six tabs, and an executive markdown recommendation naming the winning supplier.

Does the RFQ evaluation handle supplier risk assessment?

Yes, each supplier gets a risk register covering financial, geographic, quality, cyber, and ESG dimensions scored by probability and impact with mitigations. The HTML dashboard includes a risk heat map for visual comparison across suppliers.

When should I use single-source versus dual-source award recommendations?

The skill recommends dual-source when top suppliers score within a narrow margin or when supply disruption risk is high for critical categories. It asks mid-flight whether to model a dual award or stick to a single-source recommendation.
