HOW IT WORKS

What the agent actually does

1. Ingest vendor responses	Reads every bid response regardless of format — spreadsheet, PDF, portal export.
2. Standardize the data	Extracts pricing, terms and compliance data into a common structure across all bids.
3. Build the comparison matrix	Presents apples-to-apples pricing and terms side by side, surfacing hidden cost differences.
4. Hand off	Passes the comparison matrix to the sourcing manager for award decision, and outlier pricing to the Commodity Price Tracker for market context.
