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.
