Research pilot

## The requirement

A reference product needed to be translated into a usable sourcing requirement and compared with potential alternatives.

## What we worked through

A research pilot extracted product information and explored candidate matches. Specification differences and unverified details were retained for review, with technology supporting—not replacing—commercial judgement.

STARTING POINT

### A product link or reference

WORKING OUTPUT

### Organised specifications and candidate differences

## The project context

The research pilot organised product references, candidate matches and specification differences into a structured review workflow.
