# SummitArc enclosure sourcing decision — evidence-and-artifact workbook **Case packet version:** 2026.08.31-practice-3 **Case brief record:** CB01 This is a fictional, sanitized procurement training case. Organizations, suppliers, pricing, specifications, contacts, and records are fabricated, and the exercise is not legal, trade, engineering, tax, or supplier-approval advice. ## How to use this workbook Complete only what the fictional packet supports. Cite the module input ID beside each material statement. Write **not supplied** for missing operational records, approvals, dates, test results, or identities. Label anything you design as a **learner proposal**. Do not contact people, access systems, run tests, sign records, or present a proposed control as an observed fact. Each module contains a prerequisite gate, six-to-eight task-specific operating steps, field-by-field guidance, schema-exact supported and known-gap examples, supporting-artifact examples where authored, stop/go/escalate rules, a completion test, blank artifact tables, and mapped criteria. Row counts are contractual: if an assignment calls for 47 requirements, 20 records, 40 evaluations, or 27 tasks, the corresponding table contains that many stable rows. ## Module 1 — Repair the intake **Task mode:** bounded-case-starter **Prompt:** Turn the supplied request and seven explicitly missing requirement categories into an intake starter, clarification plan, and release-gate proposal without claiming approval. **Deliverable:** A procurement-intake starter, clarification log, and requirement-release gate proposal with technical, quality, commercial, and logistics decisions pending. ### Supplied-input register | Input ID | Kind | Source record(s) | What the packet supplies | Where I used it | |---|---|---|---|---| | M01-I01 | case-fact | F01 | The request is for 500 enclosures delivered to Provo in eleven weeks. | | | M01-I02 | case-fact | F02 | The intake file omits seven requirement categories: alloy temper, coating standard, salt-spray expectation, inspection method, packaging, approved deviation process, and whether the brand mark may be subcontracted. | | | M01-I03 | case-fact | F04 | Alpine priced obsolete drawing revision B instead of requested revision C. | | | M01-I04 | case-fact | F06 | Meridian assumes a substitute alloy not approved by engineering. | | | M01-I05 | case-fact | F08 | EastBridge freight, duty, customs, insurance, and transit risks are not priced. | | | M01-I06 | case-fact | F11 | The currency rate is seven months old and a uniform duty assumption was applied. | | | M01-B01 | case-brief | CB01 | Use CB01, the full versioned case brief printed once at the start of this packet, as a citable narrative source for details not normalized into F01–F12. Preserve its uncertainty language and do not treat narrative detail as approval, complete operational records, or professional judgment. | | | M01-S01 | assignment-scope | F01, F02, F04, F06, F08, F11 | Build a starter version of “A procurement-intake starter, clarification log, and requirement-release gate proposal with technical, quality, commercial, and logistics decisions pending.” from the listed case facts. Treat requested structures, controls, questions, calculations, and templates as learner-designed proposals. Where an operational record or result is absent, add a gap entry naming the missing evidence and authorized owner instead of fabricating it. | | ### Completion boundary Complete a bounded starter and gap analysis using only CB01, F01, F02, F04, F06, F08, F11, and the assignment-scope record below. Populate supported fields, label every unavailable field “not supplied,” and cite the input ID for each material statement. You may design a proposed template, control, question, or decision rule, but must label it as a learner proposal rather than observed case evidence. Do not contact people, access live systems, run tests, sign records, claim approval, or invent names, dates, quotations, transactions, results, or source documents. ### Prerequisite check - [ ] Confirm F01, F02, F04, F06, F08, and F11 are available; treat seven missing requirement categories, revision conflict, alloy assumption, logistics gaps, and stale-rate use as unresolved. - [ ] STOP “Repair the intake” when this prerequisite cannot be confirmed: Confirm F01, F02, F04, F06, F08, and F11 are available; treat seven missing requirement categories, revision conflict, alloy assumption, logistics gaps, and stale-rate use as unresolved. Record the exact missing or conflicting evidence, keep the artifact blocked, and route it to the authorized procurement owner, with engineering, quality, finance, or trade review when the field touches those authorities. Do not execute the workflow, make the specialist judgment, record approval, or claim an operational result. ### Operating procedure 1. Capture quantity, destination, and eleven-week request from F01 with its module input ID. 2. Create a separate open field for each of the seven missing requirement categories in F02; never fill a specification from assumption. 3. Record the revision-B versus revision-C conflict, unapproved alloy assumption, unpriced logistics, and stale currency/duty basis with their exact confidence. 4. Assign each clarification to an authorized technical, quality, procurement, or commercial role without inventing a name or response. 5. Apply a learner-proposed release gate that blocks comparable sourcing until scope, revision, and decision authority are resolved. 6. Final-QC every row for a cited input, one explicit evidence request, an authorized reviewer, and a pending status. ### Field-by-field guidance — M01-A01 | Field | What high-quality completion requires | |---|---| | Entry ID | Entry ID: Assign one stable identifier that remains unchanged across review, correction, escalation, and closure records. No “Repair the intake” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing record identity. Do not encode an approval, result, owner identity, or live-system value inside the identifier. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Request element | For Request element, enter one bounded part of the sourcing request: quantity, destination, requested delivery, controlled revision, or requirement category. Use M01-I01 (F01) for 500 units to Provo in eleven weeks and M01-I03 (F04) for the revision-C request/revision-B conflict. Mark any controlled specification “Not supplied” where absent. Never combine an assumption with the request. Review: procurement owner and engineering/quality for technical scope. | | Supported evidence | Transcribe the smallest decision-relevant fact supported by the cited module input and preserve its supplied confidence or uncertainty for Supported evidence. Evidence: M01-I02 (F02), M01-I04 (F06), M01-I05 (F08); mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not convert a report, allegation, estimate, or provisional statement into a verified fact. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Source input ID | Source input ID: List the exact module input ID beside every material statement, adding its fact ID when present. Cite M01-I02 (F02), M01-I04 (F06), M01-I05 (F08); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing citation trace. Do not cite the case brief as approval or cite an input that does not support the statement. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Confidence | For Confidence, copy the supplied label beside each cited input: M01-I01 confirmed, M01-I02 confirmed, M01-I03 conflicting, M01-I04 provisional, M01-I05 unknown, and M01-I06 confirmed. When one row uses several inputs, retain the labels separately instead of collapsing them into one overall confidence. Mark any statement without supplied confidence metadata “Not supplied.” Never resolve a conflict or upgrade confidence because a statement appears plausible or is repeated. Review: the procurement owner and the role responsible for the underlying evidence. | | Required state | For Required state, state the evidence condition that must exist before comparable RFQ release: controlled revision C, decisions for the seven omissions in M01-I02 (F02), authorized alloy disposition for M01-I04 (F06), and current landed-cost inputs for M01-I05 (F08) and M01-I06 (F11). Mark unresolved conditions “Not supplied.” Do not imply they were resolved. Escalate to procurement, engineering/quality, finance, and trade owners by issue. | | Missing evidence | Missing evidence: State the exact absent record, decision, method, value, or authority; explain why it matters and the bounded next request. Cite M01-I02 (F02), M01-I05 (F08); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing gap discipline. Do not hide the gap in narrative, fill it with a placeholder value, or imply the request was answered. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Authorized owner | For Authorized owner, name the authorized role that must review or decide, then show the decision as pending unless an authorized record is supplied. No “Repair the intake” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing decision authority. Never invent a person's name, infer authority from job title, or record approval from silence. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Release gate | Write a stop/go/escalate rule with its prerequisite, authorized decision role, evidence gate, and pending outcome for Release gate. Evidence: no direct “Repair the intake” source fact; mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not execute the control, commit funds, release work, or claim a decision occurred in this exercise. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Decision requested | Decision requested: Write a stop/go/escalate rule with its prerequisite, authorized decision role, evidence gate, and pending outcome. Cite M01-I02 (F02), M01-I04 (F06); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing decision gate. Do not execute the control, commit funds, release work, or claim a decision occurred in this exercise. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Review status | For Review status, select a truthful state—draft, open, blocked, pending review, or not supplied—and tie it to the evidence still required. Cite M01-I02 (F02), M01-I04 (F06); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing state control. Never mark complete, accepted, verified, distributed, or closed without the corresponding record. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Status | Select a truthful state—draft, open, blocked, pending review, or not supplied—and tie it to the evidence still required for Status. Evidence: M01-I02 (F02), M01-I04 (F06); mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not mark complete, accepted, verified, distributed, or closed without the corresponding record. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | ### Completed supported example — M01-A01 **Reference only.** This row demonstrates supported evidence and truthful status; it is not a learner submission or proof of live work. | Entry ID | Request element | Supported evidence | Source input ID | Confidence | Required state | Missing evidence | Authorized owner | Release gate | Decision requested | Review status | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | M01-A01-EX-01 | 500 enclosures delivered to Provo in eleven weeks (M01-I01, F01); requested drawing revision C conflicts with Alpine's revision-B pricing (M01-I03, F04). | M01-I02 (F02) records that the intake omits alloy temper, coating standard, salt-spray expectation, inspection method, packaging, approved deviation process, and whether the brand mark may be subcontracted; M01-I04 (F06) records Meridian's unapproved substitute-alloy assumption; M01-I05 (F08) records that EastBridge logistics and import-cost elements are unpriced.

No row-level confidence is inferred and no label is upgraded. | Before comparable sourcing: confirm revision C, alloy temper, coating, salt-spray expectation, inspection method, packaging, deviation path, and brand-mark subcontracting authority; these fields remain open. | Approved revision-C drawing; seven omitted requirement decisions; substitute-alloy disposition; priced freight/duty/customs/insurance/transit; current FX/duty basis; authorized owners and dated review records. | Engineering owns revision/material decisions; quality/brand owns inspection, coating, salt-spray, deviation, packaging, and mark controls; procurement/finance/trade own logistics, FX, duty, and commercial readiness. Named delegates are not supplied. | Learner-proposed gate — do not release an RFQ for comparison until the revision conflict and seven omitted requirement categories are resolved by the authorized owners; no release is claimed. | Engineering: decide the substitute-alloy and revision questions. Quality/brand owner: define inspection, coating, salt-spray, deviation, packaging, and subcontracting requirements. Procurement/finance/trade: replace stale FX/duty and unpriced logistics inputs. | Pending engineering, quality/brand, procurement, finance, and trade review; no decision record supplied. | Blocked for comparable RFQ release; intake repair remains open. | ### Completed known-gap example — M01-A01 **Reference only.** This row demonstrates how to preserve missing evidence without inventing a result. | Entry ID | Request element | Supported evidence | Source input ID | Confidence | Required state | Missing evidence | Authorized owner | Release gate | Decision requested | Review status | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | M01-A01-GAP-01 | Not supplied — approved, complete requirement set for the 500-enclosure request; M01-I02 (F02) identifies seven omissions and M01-I03 (F04) identifies a revision conflict. | M01-I03 (F04) records “Alpine priced obsolete drawing revision B instead of requested revision C.”; M01-I01 (F01) records “The request is for 500 enclosures delivered to Provo in eleven weeks.”; M01-I06 (F11) records “The currency rate is seven months old and a uniform duty assumption was applied.”.

Treat requested structures, controls, questions, calculations, and templates as learner-designed proposals. Where an operational record or result is absent, add a gap entry naming the missing evidence and authorized owner instead of fabricating it. | | ### Completion boundary Complete a bounded starter and gap analysis using only CB01, F03, F05, F07, F09, F10, and the assignment-scope record below. Populate supported fields, label every unavailable field “not supplied,” and cite the input ID for each material statement. You may design a proposed template, control, question, or decision rule, but must label it as a learner proposal rather than observed case evidence. Do not contact people, access live systems, run tests, sign records, claim approval, or invent names, dates, quotations, transactions, results, or source documents. ### Prerequisite check - [ ] Confirm F03, F05, F07, F09, and F10; recognize that capability, capacity, source date, identity, trade, sanctions, conflict review, and verification results are not supplied. - [ ] STOP “Screen the supplier field” when this prerequisite cannot be confirmed: Confirm F03, F05, F07, F09, and F10; recognize that capability, capacity, source date, identity, trade, sanctions, conflict review, and verification results are not supplied. Record the exact missing or conflicting evidence, keep the artifact blocked, and route it to the authorized procurement owner, with engineering, quality, finance, or trade review when the field touches those authorities. Do not execute the workflow, make the specialist judgment, record approval, or claim an operational result. ### Operating procedure 1. Create one supplier row using the same learner-proposed screening criteria and source-date field for every candidate. 2. Enter Alpine, Meridian, and EastBridge commercial facts exactly as supplied without converting quote terms into comparable total cost. 3. Record Alpine’s prior-employment relationship as a disclosed conflict requiring the approved process, not as misconduct. 4. Place EastBridge onboarding and payment on hold because address and payee records conflict; do not claim identity or trade verification occurred. 5. Route capability, capacity, identity, trade, sanctions, payee, and conflict questions to the authorized specialists and owners. 6. Final-QC that every score remains unassigned until common scope, evidence, and reviewer decisions are supplied. ### Field-by-field guidance — M02-A01 | Field | What high-quality completion requires | |---|---| | Supplier ID | Supplier ID: Assign one stable identifier that remains unchanged across review, correction, escalation, and closure records. Cite M02-I01 (F03), M02-I02 (F05); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing record identity. Do not encode an approval, result, owner identity, or live-system value inside the identifier. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Commercial evidence | For Commercial evidence, transcribe the smallest decision-relevant fact supported by the cited module input and preserve its supplied confidence or uncertainty. Cite M02-I01 (F03), M02-I02 (F05), M02-I03 (F07); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing bounded evidence. Never convert a report, allegation, estimate, or provisional statement into a verified fact. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Source input ID | List the exact module input ID beside every material statement, adding its fact ID when present for Source input ID. Evidence: M02-I01 (F03), M02-I02 (F05), M02-I03 (F07); mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not cite the case brief as approval or cite an input that does not support the statement. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Quote basis or date | For Quote basis or date, record the supplied commercial basis separately from quote date, validity, currency, and controlled-scope date. Cite the matching supplier input—M02-I01 (F03), M02-I02 (F05), or M02-I03 (F07)—and mark every absent temporal value “Not supplied.” Do not treat a quoted term, receipt date, or supplier name as an effective date. Review: the procurement commercial owner. | | Capability or capacity evidence | For Capability or capacity evidence, record only dated, supplier-specific qualification, equipment, staffing, throughput, lead-time, or past-performance evidence tied to the controlled scope. No direct “Screen the supplier field” source fact establishes capability or capacity; mark it “Not supplied” and request the exact qualification and capacity records. Never substitute price, address, payee, or relationship evidence for operational capability. Keep pending for the procurement and technical reviewers. | | Identity, trade, and payee status | For Identity, trade, and payee status, preserve the EastBridge address and unrelated-payee conflict from M02-I04 (F09), then list independent legal-entity, payee, sanctions, and trade checks as “Not supplied.” Keep the status blocked or pending review. Do not treat a conflict as proof of misconduct or as completed verification. Review: authorized procurement, finance, compliance, and trade roles before onboarding or payment. | | Conflict disclosure status | For Conflict disclosure status, record the Alpine/project-engineer prior-employment relationship from M02-I05 (F10), name the approved conflict-review route required, and leave the review outcome “Not supplied.” Do not infer bias or misconduct, and do not treat disclosure itself as clearance. Review: the authorized ethics/conflict role and procurement decision owner; any ranking or award decision remains pending. | | Comparability gap | For Comparability gap, state the exact absent record, decision, method, value, or authority; explain why it matters and the bounded next request. No “Screen the supplier field” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing gap discipline. Never hide the gap in narrative, fill it with a placeholder value, or imply the request was answered. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Hold reason | For Hold reason, tie the hold to the exact unresolved gate: use M02-I04 (F09) for EastBridge identity/payee screening or M02-I05 (F10) for Alpine conflict review. State the evidence and authorized decision needed to release the hold, or mark it “Not supplied.” Do not combine the suppliers, allege misconduct, onboard, rank, or award. Escalate to the matching procurement, finance, trade, or ethics reviewer. | | Decision owner | For Decision owner, name the role authorized for the specific unresolved gate: procurement owns supplier-field control, finance owns payee approval, trade/compliance owns applicable screening, and the ethics/conflict role owns relationship review. No direct “Screen the supplier field” source fact supplies delegated individuals; mark assignment “Not supplied.” Do not infer authority from a title or record approval from silence. Review: the named role; its decision remains pending. | | Status | For Status, select draft, open, blocked, pending review, or not supplied and tie it to the specific F09 identity/payee gate or F10 conflict-review gate. Cite M02-I04 (F09) or M02-I05 (F10) only for the matching supplier row. Never mark verified, cleared, qualified, accepted, or closed without the corresponding authorized record. Keep the supplier-specific decision pending for the procurement owner. | ### Completed supported example — M02-A01 **Reference only.** This row demonstrates supported evidence and truthful status; it is not a learner submission or proof of live work. | Supplier ID | Commercial evidence | Source input ID | Quote basis or date | Capability or capacity evidence | Identity, trade, and payee status | Conflict disclosure status | Comparability gap | Hold reason | Decision owner | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Alpine — quoted supplier; legal-entity verification and individual decision authority are not supplied. | Alpine quotes $41.20 each, $3,800 tooling, and a thirty-percent deposit (M02-I01, F03). | M02-I01 (F03); M02-I05 (F10) | Unit price, tooling, and deposit are supplied; quote date, validity, currency, controlled-scope date, and complete delivery terms are not supplied (M02-I01, F03). | Not supplied — the quote establishes commercial terms only; request dated qualification, process-capability, available-capacity, lead-time-basis, and comparable-scope evidence before ranking Alpine. | Not supplied for Alpine — the EastBridge address/payee conflict in F09 belongs in a separate EastBridge row and must not be transplanted here. | Open — Alpine's prior-employment relationship with the buyer's project engineer is disclosed (M02-I05, F10); the approved conflict-review route and authorized outcome are not supplied, and no misconduct or clearance is inferred. | Quote date, controlled scope, capability/capacity evidence, identity/trade screening, complete terms, and authorized conflict-review outcome are not supplied for Alpine. | Hold Alpine ranking and award decisions until the prior-employment relationship follows the approved conflict process and common dated supplier evidence is available; no exclusion or clearance is claimed. | Authorized procurement decision owner and ethics/conflict reviewer; named delegates, review record, and decision remain not supplied. | Blocked — conflict review and comparable qualification evidence remain pending. | ### Completed known-gap example — M02-A01 **Reference only.** This row demonstrates how to preserve missing evidence without inventing a result. | Supplier ID | Commercial evidence | Source input ID | Quote basis or date | Capability or capacity evidence | Identity, trade, and payee status | Conflict disclosure status | Comparability gap | Hold reason | Decision owner | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | EastBridge — provisional supplier identity; verified legal entity and approved payee record are not supplied. | Quote exists at M02-I03 (F07), but comparable scope, date, delivered cost, and validity are not supplied. | M02-I03 (F07); M02-I04 (F09) | FOB origin supplied; date and validity not supplied. | Not supplied — the EastBridge quote at M02-I03 (F07) provides commercial terms, not qualification or capacity; request dated qualification, process-capability, available-capacity, lead-time-basis, and comparable-scope evidence. | Conflict remains open — M02-I04 (F09); no verification result is supplied. | Not supplied for EastBridge — no relationship disclosure appears in the scoped EastBridge inputs; do not transplant the separately modeled Alpine relationship into this row. | Open — EastBridge cannot be compared or onboarded from the quoted price alone. | Identity, payee, trade, scope, landed-cost, and capability evidence pending; no supplier approval is claimed. | Authorized procurement supplier-risk owner, finance/payee reviewer, and applicable trade/compliance reviewer; named assignments and decisions are not supplied. | Blocked — identity, payee, trade, capability, and comparable-cost evidence remain unresolved. | ### Supporting artifact build sequence 1. **M02-A02 · Conflict-disclosure record** — Produce a bounded, reviewable conflict-disclosure record from cited packet evidence while exposing unsupported fields and required approvals.

Populate supported fields, label every unavailable field “not supplied,” and cite the input ID for each material statement. You may design a proposed template, control, question, or decision rule, but must label it as a learner proposal rather than observed case evidence. Do not contact people, access live systems, run tests, sign records, claim approval, or invent names, dates, quotations, transactions, results, or source documents. ### Prerequisite check - [ ] Confirm F01, F02, F04, F06, and F08; verify that revision C is requested while seven requirement categories, alloy approval, and EastBridge logistics remain unresolved. - [ ] STOP “Issue a controlled RFQ” when this prerequisite cannot be confirmed: Confirm F01, F02, F04, F06, and F08; verify that revision C is requested while seven requirement categories, alloy approval, and EastBridge logistics remain unresolved. Record the exact missing or conflicting evidence, keep the artifact blocked, and route it to the authorized procurement owner, with engineering, quality, finance, or trade review when the field touches those authorities. Do not execute the workflow, make the specialist judgment, record approval, or claim an operational result. ### Operating procedure 1. Open the manifest with the 500-unit quantity, Provo destination, eleven-week request, and revision-C control requirement. 2. List drawing, quality, packaging, commercial, deviation, and delivery components as separate controlled items. 3. Mark each of the seven omitted requirement categories not supplied and assign an authorized clarification owner. 4. Record the revision-B quote, unapproved alloy assumption, and unpriced logistics as exceptions that prevent comparable bids. 5. Define a versioned clarification-distribution and supplier-acknowledgment method as a learner proposal; acknowledgment is not technical acceptance. 6. Final-QC version/date, source, owner, access/review status, gap, and no implied RFQ issuance or supplier receipt. ### Field-by-field guidance — M03-A01 | Field | What high-quality completion requires | |---|---| | Package item | For Package item, name one controlled RFQ component—revision-C drawing, requirement-clarification schedule, quality/inspection terms, packaging/deviation controls, or commercial/logistics terms. Use M03-I02 (F02) for the missing requirement schedule and M03-I03 (F04) for the requested revision; the controlled files themselves are “Not supplied.” Do not claim the package was assembled or issued. Review: procurement package owner with engineering/quality or commercial specialist as applicable. | | Controlled source or location | For Controlled source or location, identify the controlled record, location, version, date, and module citation that governs this entry. No “Issue a controlled RFQ” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing controlled provenance. Never treat an undated draft, copied text, or secondary summary as the controlling record. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Revision or date | Record the controlled RFQ revision and its effective or release date as separate values for Revision or date. Evidence: M03-I02 (F02), M03-I03 (F04); mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not treat a requested revision reference as proof that the controlled file was issued or effective. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Requirement or clarification | Requirement or clarification: State one RFQ requirement exactly as controlled, or frame one unresolved requirement as a supplier-neutral clarification question. Cite M03-I02 (F02), M03-I03 (F04); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing RFQ requirement control. Do not answer the clarification, choose a specification, or make one supplier's assumption the RFQ requirement. Review: authorized engineering, quality, and procurement owners. | | Distribution scope | For Distribution scope, list the authorized recipient role, exact RFQ package version, approved channel, confidentiality/access limit, and issue date for that package item. No direct “Issue a controlled RFQ” source fact supplies a recipient list, channel, access rule, or distribution record; mark each “Not supplied.” Never infer that a supplier received the package. Keep pending for the procurement package owner and applicable contract, security, or trade reviewer. | | Supplier acknowledgment | For Supplier acknowledgment, record only a dated supplier receipt, package version, exceptions, and response status tied to the distributed RFQ. No direct “Issue a controlled RFQ” source fact supplies an acknowledgment; mark it “Not supplied” and keep status pending review. Do not cite logistics gaps as receipt evidence or imply distribution occurred. Escalate to the procurement package owner before comparison. | | Technical acceptance | Technical acceptance: Name the authorized role that must review or decide, then show the decision as pending unless an authorized record is supplied. No “Issue a controlled RFQ” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing decision authority. Do not invent a person's name, infer authority from job title, or record approval from silence. Review: the authorized technical or safety owner. | | Owner | For Owner, name the authorized role that must review or decide, then show the decision as pending unless an authorized record is supplied. No “Issue a controlled RFQ” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing decision authority. Never invent a person's name, infer authority from job title, or record approval from silence. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Gap | State the exact absent record, decision, method, value, or authority; explain why it matters and the bounded next request for Gap. Evidence: no direct “Issue a controlled RFQ” source fact; mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not hide the gap in narrative, fill it with a placeholder value, or imply the request was answered. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Status | Status: Select a truthful state—draft, open, blocked, pending review, or not supplied—and tie it to the evidence still required. Cite M03-I02 (F02), M03-I03 (F04); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing state control. Do not mark complete, accepted, verified, distributed, or closed without the corresponding record. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | ### Completed supported example — M03-A01 **Reference only.** This row demonstrates supported evidence and truthful status; it is not a learner submission or proof of live work. | Package item | Controlled source or location | Revision or date | Requirement or clarification | Distribution scope | Supplier acknowledgment | Technical acceptance | Owner | Gap | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Controlled drawing and requirement-clarification schedule for the 500-enclosure RFQ. | Requested revision C is referenced by M03-I03 (F04), but the controlled drawing file and approved distribution location are not supplied. | Revision C is the requested basis (M03-I03, F04); controlled-file version, effective date, and package-release date are not supplied. | Open clarifications: alloy temper, coating, salt-spray expectation, inspection method, packaging, deviation process, brand-mark subcontracting, substitute alloy, and logistics responsibility (M03-I02, M03-I04, M03-I05). | Not supplied — authorized recipient list, confidentiality controls, and supplier-specific distribution record. | Pending — no supplier receipt or acknowledgment evidence is supplied. | Pending authorized engineering/quality review; no acceptance is represented. | Authorized procurement RFQ-package owner, with engineering and quality reviewers for revision, material, inspection, deviation, and brand controls and finance/trade review for logistics terms; named assignments and decisions remain pending. | Controlled revision-C drawing, decisions for seven omitted requirement categories, substitute-alloy disposition, logistics responsibility, recipient list, acknowledgment, and technical acceptance are missing. | Draft — cited evidence recorded; authorized review pending | ### Completed known-gap example — M03-A01 **Reference only.** This row demonstrates how to preserve missing evidence without inventing a result. | Package item | Controlled source or location | Revision or date | Requirement or clarification | Distribution scope | Supplier acknowledgment | Technical acceptance | Owner | Gap | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Blocked package item — controlled revision-C drawing and completed clarification schedule not supplied. | Not supplied — approved repository location, version, and access record. | Revision C is referenced, but controlled revision evidence and effective/release dates are not supplied. | Nine requirement/assumption questions remain open from M03-I02, M03-I04, and M03-I05. | Not supplied — recipients and distribution authority. | Not supplied — dated receipt and exception response. | Not supplied — authorized technical disposition of revision and alloy questions. | Authorized procurement RFQ-package owner plus engineering/quality technical reviewers and finance/trade commercial reviewers; named delegates and decisions are not supplied. | Open evidence gap — no controlled revision-C package, completed clarifications, approved distribution scope, supplier acknowledgment, or technical acceptance record. | Blocked — required evidence or authorized decision not supplied | ### Supporting artifact build sequence 1. **M03-A02 · Bidder-communication template** — Produce a bounded, reviewable bidder-communication template from cited packet evidence while exposing unsupported fields and required approvals.

Treat requested structures, controls, questions, calculations, and templates as learner-designed proposals. Where an operational record or result is absent, add a gap entry naming the missing evidence and authorized owner instead of fabricating it. | | ### Completion boundary Complete a bounded starter and gap analysis using only CB01, F03, F04, F05, F06, F07, F08, F11, F12, and the assignment-scope record below. Populate supported fields, label every unavailable field “not supplied,” and cite the input ID for each material statement. You may design a proposed template, control, question, or decision rule, but must label it as a learner proposal rather than observed case evidence. Do not contact people, access live systems, run tests, sign records, claim approval, or invent names, dates, quotations, transactions, results, or source documents. ### Prerequisite check - [ ] Confirm F03–F08, F11, and F12; treat revision, material, first-article, logistics, currency, duty, and schedule-value differences as unresolved rather than comparable numbers. - [ ] STOP “Normalize total cost” when this prerequisite cannot be confirmed: Confirm F03–F08, F11, and F12; treat revision, material, first-article, logistics, currency, duty, and schedule-value differences as unresolved rather than comparable numbers. Record the exact missing or conflicting evidence, keep the artifact blocked, and route it to the authorized procurement owner, with engineering, quality, finance, or trade review when the field touches those authorities. Do not execute the workflow, make the specialist judgment, record approval, or claim an operational result. ### Operating procedure 1. Create low, base, and high rows for each supplier using only quoted unit price, tooling, and explicitly stated terms. 2. Normalize scope before ranking by flagging Alpine revision B, Meridian’s unapproved alloy and excluded first article, and EastBridge FOB-origin basis. 3. Keep freight, duty, customs, insurance, transit, current exchange rate, and jurisdiction-specific import review visibly not supplied. 4. Treat the $2,000-per-week arrival value as provisional and unsupported; do not insert it into a decision total without authorized evidence. 5. Show formulas and sensitivity drivers as learner proposals while withholding false point estimates for unknown inputs. 6. Final-QC that every observation is cited, every assumption is labeled, and no supplier ranking or award is represented as approved. ### Field-by-field guidance — M04-A01 | Field | What high-quality completion requires | |---|---| | Scenario ID | Scenario ID: Assign one stable identifier that remains unchanged across review, correction, escalation, and closure records. No “Normalize total cost” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing record identity. Do not encode an approval, result, owner identity, or live-system value inside the identifier. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Supplier | For Supplier, record the supplier-specific commercial basis, scope, date, capability evidence, and unresolved verification or landed-cost component separately. Cite M04-I01 (F03), M04-I03 (F05); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing supplier comparability. Never equate low price with qualification, compare unlike terms, use a stale rate, or treat identity/payee status as verified. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Source input ID | List the exact module input ID beside every material statement, adding its fact ID when present for Source input ID. Evidence: M04-I01 (F03), M04-I02 (F04), M04-I04 (F06); mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not cite the case brief as approval or cite an input that does not support the statement. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Quantity | Quantity: Define the quantity, unit, population, formula, or threshold explicitly and keep supplied values separate from learner-designed calculation logic. Cite M04-I01 (F03); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing measurement definition. Do not calculate a result from missing inputs, mix units, change the denominator, or present a proposed threshold as approved. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Unit price | For Unit price, record each supplier's quoted amount per stated unit, currency, quote date or version, validity period, quantity break, and included or excluded commercial scope. Cite Alpine M04-I01 (F03), Meridian M04-I03 (F05), or EastBridge M04-I05 (F07) only in that supplier's row. Mark currency, validity, taxes, freight, duty, inspection scope, or other missing terms “Not supplied.” Never transplant values between suppliers or treat an incomplete unit quote as landed cost. Review: procurement and finance/trade owners. | | Tooling | For Tooling, record the supplier-specific one-time amount and currency, then request tool scope, ownership or title, storage, maintenance and repair responsibility, expected production life, payment milestone, transfer rights, and any proposed allocation or amortization basis. M04-I01 (F03) supplies Alpine's $3,800 and M04-I05 (F07) supplies EastBridge's $5,600; the remaining attributes are not supplied. Do not compare tooling prices without common scope or calculate an allocated unit cost without an authorized quantity and method. Review: procurement, finance, and technical owners. | | Commercial basis | Commercial basis: Record the supplier-specific commercial basis, scope, date, capability evidence, and unresolved verification or landed-cost component separately. Cite M04-I01 (F03), M04-I03 (F05); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing supplier comparability. Do not equate low price with qualification, compare unlike terms, use a stale rate, or treat identity/payee status as verified. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Scope or revision status | For Scope or revision status, select a truthful state—draft, open, blocked, pending review, or not supplied—and tie it to the evidence still required. Cite M04-I02 (F04), M04-I04 (F06); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing state control. Never mark complete, accepted, verified, distributed, or closed without the corresponding record. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Logistics, FX, and duty inputs | For Logistics, FX, and duty inputs, record supplier-specific freight, duty, customs, insurance, transit, currency rate, rate date, and source separately. M04-I06 (F08) identifies EastBridge's unpriced logistics and M04-I07 (F11) identifies stale FX and uniform-duty assumptions; mark any supplier-specific value “Not supplied” when absent. Do not transplant those inputs into another supplier row. Escalate to procurement, finance, and trade reviewers. | | Schedule or quality assumption | Schedule or quality assumption: Label each statement as observed fact, bounded impact, or learner hypothesis and describe the evidence that could confirm or refute it. Cite M04-I02 (F04), M04-I08 (F12); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing reasoning boundary. Do not state causation, legal effect, product impact, blame, or affected scope from incomplete evidence. Review: the authorized quality owner and required specialist. | | Formula or range | For Formula or range, define the quantity, unit, population, formula, or threshold explicitly and keep supplied values separate from learner-designed calculation logic. No “Normalize total cost” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing measurement definition. Never calculate a result from missing inputs, mix units, change the denominator, or present a proposed threshold as approved. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Reviewer | Name the authorized role that must review or decide, then show the decision as pending unless an authorized record is supplied for Reviewer. Evidence: no direct “Normalize total cost” source fact; mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not invent a person's name, infer authority from job title, or record approval from silence. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Comparability status | Comparability status: Select a truthful state—draft, open, blocked, pending review, or not supplied—and tie it to the evidence still required. Cite M04-I02 (F04), M04-I04 (F06); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing state control. Do not mark complete, accepted, verified, distributed, or closed without the corresponding record. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | ### Completed supported example — M04-A01 **Reference only.** This row demonstrates supported evidence and truthful status; it is not a learner submission or proof of live work. | Scenario ID | Supplier | Source input ID | Quantity | Unit price | Tooling | Commercial basis | Scope or revision status | Logistics, FX, and duty inputs | Schedule or quality assumption | Formula or range | Reviewer | Comparability status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | M04-A01-EX-01 | Alpine — one supplier scenario; other suppliers require separate rows. | M04-I01 (F03); M04-I02 (F04); M04-I04 (F06); M04-I08 (F12); M04-I03 (F05); M04-I05 (F07); M04-I06 (F08); M04-I07 (F11) | Not supplied in the module-scoped M04 inputs; do not reuse a quantity from another module. | $41.20 each for Alpine (M04-I01, F03); currency and quote-validity date are not supplied. | $3,800 for Alpine (M04-I01, F03); tooling scope, ownership, and amortization treatment are not supplied. | Thirty-percent deposit for Alpine (M04-I01, F03); Incoterm, freight, duty, insurance, tax, payment balance, and validity remain open. | Not comparable — Alpine priced obsolete drawing revision B instead of requested revision C (M04-I02, F04). | Not supplied for Alpine.

Populate supported fields, label every unavailable field “not supplied,” and cite the input ID for each material statement. You may design a proposed template, control, question, or decision rule, but must label it as a learner proposal rather than observed case evidence. Do not contact people, access live systems, run tests, sign records, claim approval, or invent names, dates, quotations, transactions, results, or source documents. ### Prerequisite check - [ ] Confirm F01, F03, F05, F06, F07, and F09; treat all delegated authority, technical approvals, delivery evidence, payment controls, and receipt records as not supplied. - [ ] STOP “Control commitment and delivery” when this prerequisite cannot be confirmed: Confirm F01, F03, F05, F06, F07, and F09; treat all delegated authority, technical approvals, delivery evidence, payment controls, and receipt records as not supplied. Record the exact missing or conflicting evidence, keep the artifact blocked, and route it to the authorized procurement owner, with engineering, quality, finance, or trade review when the field touches those authorities. Do not execute the workflow, make the specialist judgment, record approval, or claim an operational result. ### Operating procedure 1. List commercial commitment, technical substitution, first article, identity/payee, shipment, receipt, and payment as separate approval gates. 2. Enter Meridian’s DDP quote/first-article exclusion, unapproved alloy assumption, and EastBridge FOB-origin basis with their confidence. 3. Require delegated approval before any supplier commitment or purchase-order release. 4. Require engineering/quality approval before substitute material or first-article acceptance; do not infer approval from a quote. 5. Place EastBridge commitment and payment on hold pending independent identity/payee review and define delivery/change/receipt evidence as learner-proposed controls. 6. Final-QC owner, evidence required, decision status, and no issued purchase order, shipment, receipt, acceptance, or payment claim. ### Field-by-field guidance — M05-A01 | Field | What high-quality completion requires | |---|---| | Gate ID | Gate ID: Assign one stable identifier that remains unchanged across review, correction, escalation, and closure records. No “Control commitment and delivery” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing record identity. Do not encode an approval, result, owner identity, or live-system value inside the identifier. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Commitment or control | For Commitment or control, name the exact commercial commitment or control being gated—such as scope release, supplier selection, purchase authorization, receipt, exception, or payment. No “Control commitment and delivery” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing commitment boundary. Never treat a quote, schedule request, or operational preference as authority to commit funds or accept product. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Supported evidence | Transcribe the smallest decision-relevant fact supported by the cited module input and preserve its supplied confidence or uncertainty for Supported evidence. Evidence: M05-I03 (F05), M05-I04 (F06), M05-I05 (F07); mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not convert a report, allegation, estimate, or provisional statement into a verified fact. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Source input ID | Source input ID: List the exact module input ID beside every material statement, adding its fact ID when present. Cite M05-I03 (F05), M05-I04 (F06), M05-I05 (F07); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing citation trace. Do not cite the case brief as approval or cite an input that does not support the statement. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Prerequisite | For Prerequisite, name the evidence gate that must be satisfied before the commitment step: controlled comparable scope, authorized material/first-article decision, verified supplier/payee, complete commercial terms, delegated purchase authority, or receipt/payment evidence. M05-I04 (F06) blocks technical release and M05-I06 (F09) blocks payee setup; approvals are “Not supplied.” Never treat the quote as authority. Keep pending for the exact procurement, engineering/quality, finance, or trade owner. | | Evidence required | State the exact absent record, decision, method, value, or authority; explain why it matters and the bounded next request for Evidence required. Evidence: M05-I06 (F09); mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not hide the gap in narrative, fill it with a placeholder value, or imply the request was answered. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Decision owner | Decision owner: Name the authorized role that must review or decide, then show the decision as pending unless an authorized record is supplied. No “Control commitment and delivery” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing decision authority. Do not invent a person's name, infer authority from job title, or record approval from silence. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Sequence | For Sequence, write the ordered handoff from prerequisite evidence to authorized decision, release, receipt review, exception handling, and payment gate without skipping a control. No “Control commitment and delivery” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing ordered control sequence. Never collapse independent gates into one approval or imply that a later step cures an earlier missing prerequisite. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Hold or exception | For Hold or exception, state the exact gate, triggering evidence, release evidence, and authorized reviewer. Use M05-I04 (F06) for the unapproved Meridian alloy assumption or M05-I06 (F09) for the EastBridge identity/payee conflict; mark any release decision “Not supplied.” Do not treat the trigger as proof of misconduct or claim the hold was executed. Escalate to engineering/quality or procurement/finance/trade as applicable. | | Approval status | Approval status: Name the authorized role that must review or decide, then show the decision as pending unless an authorized record is supplied. Cite M05-I03 (F05), M05-I04 (F06); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing decision authority. Do not invent a person's name, infer authority from job title, or record approval from silence. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | ### Completed supported example — M05-A01 **Reference only.** This row demonstrates supported evidence and truthful status; it is not a learner submission or proof of live work. | Gate ID | Commitment or control | Supported evidence | Source input ID | Prerequisite | Evidence required | Decision owner | Sequence | Hold or exception | Approval status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | M05-A01-EX-01 | Purchase commitment gate for scope, supplier/payee identity, technical acceptance, receipt evidence, exception disposition, and payment authorization. | M05-I03 (F05) records “Meridian quotes $46.80 delivered duty paid and excludes first-article inspection.”; M05-I04 (F06) records “Meridian assumes a substitute alloy not approved by engineering.”; M05-I05 (F07) records “EastBridge quotes $32.50 and $5,600 tooling free-on-board origin.”.

Where an operational record or result is absent, add a gap entry naming the missing evidence and authorized owner instead of fabricating it. | | ### Completion boundary Complete a bounded starter and gap analysis using only CB01, F04, F06, F09, F10, F12, and the assignment-scope record below. Populate supported fields, label every unavailable field “not supplied,” and cite the input ID for each material statement. You may design a proposed template, control, question, or decision rule, but must label it as a learner proposal rather than observed case evidence. Do not contact people, access live systems, run tests, sign records, claim approval, or invent names, dates, quotations, transactions, results, or source documents. ### Prerequisite check - [ ] Confirm F04, F06, F09, F10, and F12; recognize that denominators, periods, source systems, thresholds, attributable causes, and operational score data are not supplied. - [ ] STOP “Measure supplier performance” when this prerequisite cannot be confirmed: Confirm F04, F06, F09, F10, and F12; recognize that denominators, periods, source systems, thresholds, attributable causes, and operational score data are not supplied. Record the exact missing or conflicting evidence, keep the artifact blocked, and route it to the authorized procurement owner, with engineering, quality, finance, or trade review when the field touches those authorities. Do not execute the workflow, make the specialist judgment, record approval, or claim an operational result. ### Operating procedure 1. Define delivery, quality, responsiveness, cost, and control metrics with denominator, period, inclusion, exclusion, source, owner, and threshold fields. 2. Create an attribution rule that separates buyer-caused revision or scope changes from supplier-attributable performance. 3. Use the revision-B mismatch and unapproved alloy only as supplied events; do not assign a normalized score. 4. Record EastBridge identity/payee conflict and Alpine relationship as severe control/ethics events outside any average. 5. Keep the unsupported $2,000-per-week schedule value outside cost scoring until documented and approved. 6. Final-QC reproducibility, cited evidence, exception visibility, reviewer ownership, and no fabricated monthly result. ### Field-by-field guidance — M06-A01 | Field | What high-quality completion requires | |---|---| | Metric or event | Metric or event: Define the quantity, unit, population, formula, or threshold explicitly and keep supplied values separate from learner-designed calculation logic. No “Measure supplier performance” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing measurement definition. Do not calculate a result from missing inputs, mix units, change the denominator, or present a proposed threshold as approved. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Operational definition | For Operational definition, write a learner-proposed rule that another reviewer could reproduce: named event, eligible population, numerator, denominator, measurement period, evidence source, attribution rule, and treatment of missing records. No direct “Measure supplier performance” source fact supplies an approved metric definition; mark approval and baseline “Not supplied.” Never calculate or publish a score from undefined inputs. Keep pending for the procurement performance owner and quality/finance specialist tied to the metric. | | Numerator | Define the quantity, unit, population, formula, or threshold explicitly and keep supplied values separate from learner-designed calculation logic for Numerator. Evidence: no direct “Measure supplier performance” source fact; mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not calculate a result from missing inputs, mix units, change the denominator, or present a proposed threshold as approved. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Denominator | Denominator: Define the quantity, unit, population, formula, or threshold explicitly and keep supplied values separate from learner-designed calculation logic. No “Measure supplier performance” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing measurement definition. Do not calculate a result from missing inputs, mix units, change the denominator, or present a proposed threshold as approved. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Period | For Period, state the scorecard start date, end date, and review cadence before any numerator or denominator is counted. Cite M06-I01 (F04), M06-I05 (F12); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing measurement period. Never mix events from different windows or calculate a rate without a defined eligible period. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Inclusion or exclusion | For Inclusion or exclusion, define which supplier records enter the metric and which remain outside it—for example, include only dated records tied to controlled scope; exclude records without an eligible period or attributable owner while retaining them in the exception log. No direct “Measure supplier performance” source fact approves this learner proposal; mark the rule “Not supplied” until reviewed. Do not hide severe events through exclusion. Escalate to procurement performance and quality owners. | | Attribution rule | Attribution rule: Label each statement as observed fact, bounded impact, or learner hypothesis and describe the evidence that could confirm or refute it. No “Measure supplier performance” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing reasoning boundary. Do not state causation, legal effect, product impact, blame, or affected scope from incomplete evidence. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Evidence source | For Evidence source, identify the controlled record, location, version, date, and module citation that governs this entry. Cite M06-I03 (F09); if insufficient, mark “Not supplied” and name the missing controlled provenance. Never treat an undated draft, copied text, or secondary summary as the controlling record. Keep pending for the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Owner | Name the authorized role that must review or decide, then show the decision as pending unless an authorized record is supplied for Owner. Evidence: no direct “Measure supplier performance” source fact; mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not invent a person's name, infer authority from job title, or record approval from silence. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Provisional threshold | Provisional threshold: Define the quantity, unit, population, formula, or threshold explicitly and keep supplied values separate from learner-designed calculation logic. No “Measure supplier performance” source fact supplies it; mark “Not supplied” and request the missing measurement definition. Do not calculate a result from missing inputs, mix units, change the denominator, or present a proposed threshold as approved. Review: the procurement owner and any required specialist. | | Severe-event handling | For Severe-event handling, define the trigger, immediate evidence-preservation step, authorized escalation role, response clock, separate display outside averages, and closure evidence. Use M06-I03 (F09) for the identity/payee conflict and M06-I04 (F10) for the disclosed relationship; outcomes remain “Not supplied.” Never average these events away or claim investigation, misconduct, or clearance. Keep pending for procurement, finance/compliance, ethics, and quality owners as applicable. | | Status | Select a truthful state—draft, open, blocked, pending review, or not supplied—and tie it to the evidence still required for Status. Evidence: M06-I01 (F04), M06-I03 (F09); mark “Not supplied” when absent. Do not mark complete, accepted, verified, distributed, or closed without the corresponding record. Escalate to the procurement owner and any required specialist. | ### Completed supported example — M06-A01 **Reference only.** This row demonstrates supported evidence and truthful status; it is not a learner submission or proof of live work. | Metric or event | Operational definition | Numerator | Denominator | Period | Inclusion or exclusion | Attribution rule | Evidence source | Owner | Provisional threshold | Severe-event handling | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Learner-proposed metric: quote-to-controlled-scope compliance; severe event: supplier identity/payee mismatch. | Count a quote as scope-compliant only when its controlled revision and required exceptions are traceable; keep identity/payee conflicts as separate severe events. | Not supplied — number of evaluated quotes that match controlled scope. | Not supplied — total eligible quotes evaluated in the defined period. | Not supplied — define the scorecard start/end dates and review cadence before calculating a supplier metric. | Proposed: include only quotes with controlled scope and source records; exclude records lacking an eligible period or comparable basis, without hiding them from the exception log. | Do not attribute a revision mismatch, alloy assumption, payee conflict, prior-employment relationship, or undocumented schedule value to supplier performance until ownership and evidence are reviewed (M06-I01–M06-I05). | M06-I03 (F09); controlling version/date remains pending if not stated in the cited input. | Procurement performance owner maintains the metric definition; quality/engineering review attributable technical events, while finance/trade/compliance review identity, payee, and ethics events.
