Short answer

How can I automate weighted vendor scoring?

Your AI reads your raw performance metrics and applies your specific weightings to each category. You get a ranked list of suppliers based on your custom logic. This breakdown shows how the math works.

The results you get.

Where your scores land.

The AI processes your raw data into these specific outputs.

RANKED

Sorted supplier lists

The AI uses evaluate_supplier_scores to rank your vendors. You get a clean list ordered by their final weighted performance.

DETAILED

Metric breakdowns

The AI isolates how much each individual metric contributed to the final score. This helps you see exactly why a vendor's rating changed.

ACTIONABLE

Risk alerts

The AI flags any supplier whose score falls below your set threshold. You'll know immediately which vendors need a review.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI provides the calculated results, but you decide if you need to override a score based on qualitative context.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI takes over the heavy lifting of the calculation process.

  1. Data ingestion

    Your AI reads the raw performance numbers from your connected sheets or databases.
