— HOW IT BEHAVES
How Vendor due-diligence questionnaire produces its result
The mechanics behind this specific template — what it reads, what it calculates, and where a human stays in the loop.
Deterministic scoring per supplier
Each supplier is scored from a fixed scoring form rather than model judgement, which is what makes the supplier panel comparable across runs and reviewers.
Composed as work product
Findings on the supplier panel are written up as a document that reads like professional output, with each claim tied back to a supplier.
Criteria-based analysis of every supplier
Each supplier is assessed against explicit criteria you control, so the same standard is applied across the supplier panel on every run.
Grounded in your own supplier submissions and contracts
The run works from supplier submissions and contracts you supply, so conclusions about the supplier panel are anchored to your evidence rather than general model knowledge.
Why this is expensive by hand
Vendor onboarding decisions get made on a phone call and documented afterwards. New vendor onboarding is the typical trigger — apply the same diligence questionnaire and scoring to every supplier before they are approved. Done properly it is defensible; done at pace it becomes a judgement call nobody can retrace. And "properly" usually means 1 day of manual work.
How this Skill produces it
As a Skill, the work is already sequenced. You bring the evidence, and the run produces a banded risk rating with deterministic scoring plus specific contractual conditions to attach. The judgement is built in — how items are broken up, what standard they are held to, and where the run stops for a human review. Net effect: 1 day down to ~5 minutes, no drift between runs, and every conclusion traceable back to the evidence behind it.
Who it's for
- Procurement and category managers
- Third-party risk and vendor management teams
- Bid and proposal teams
- Consultants running sourcing exercises
Run it in Skillsize — or export it anywhere
Vendor due-diligence questionnaire exports as a structured SKILL.md file and is MCP-ready, so the same method runs in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or your own AI products. Adapt it to your methodology, and the intelligence stays yours — not locked to one vendor.
