Vendor-Selection Panel Pick-to-Delivery Ledger for Procurement & Vendor Management Teams

A structured ledger for procurement and vendor-management leads who run scored selection panels for professional-services, IT, marketing-agency, and managed-services engagements (£100K-£3M). Each selection-committee member's confidence-tagged scoring of bidder claims (delivery confidence, team strength, scope realism) is recorded at decision time and resolved against administrative ground-truth: first-milestone slip, first change-order date, scope re-baseline, SLA breach, and tranche-release delay — all within 3-6 months of contract start, all logged in the buyer's existing vendor-management system. AE's six-pattern autopsy taxonomy maps directly onto selection-panel failure modes (Cosmetic Confidence on bidder pitches, Fatal Grounding Immunity to prior-engagement history, Temporal Blindness on ramp-up promises), and the scored-retrieval lifecycle supports per-evaluator records that survive committee rotation. Buyer is a procurement head accountable to a CFO who wants defensible vendor-selection governance; resolution is administrative, not narrative; £600-1500/month per team is in-band for procurement tooling budgets.

Selection panels score bidder claims with no resolution mechanism; AE's graded-prediction engine plus administrative VMS ground-truth turns committee scoring into auditable, CFO-defensible vendor governance at procurement-budget price points.

Still in evaluation (phase: ranked). No verdict yet.
