HOW IT WORKS

What the agent actually does

1. Pull receiving data	Reads PO fulfilment records and quality inspection logs for the vendor's recent orders.
2. Score each dimension	Converts delivery, fill, quality and consistency into 0–100 sub-scores.
3. Weight and blend	Combines sub-scores per the category's quality/delivery priority into a single vendor score.
4. Hand off	Feeds underperforming vendors to the Supplier Risk Mapping Agent and confirms substitution candidates to the Assortment Optimization Agent.
