1. Define the decision
Tell us the supplier, product, quotation, concern and deadline.
2. Approve a written scope
The checks, deliverables, exclusions, timing and fee are stated before work starts.
3. Complete the evidence work
Remote research, supplier contact, site work or inspection is performed only within the approved scope.
4. Review findings and limits
The report separates observed evidence, supplier-provided information and unresolved gaps.
5. Choose the next control
You decide whether to proceed, renegotiate, inspect further or stop the purchase.
