Sourcing Selection

Use When

• The user wants a sourcing or product-selection judgment, not just raw platform data.
• Supply-side evidence and demand-side evidence need to be combined.
• A product idea, supplier signal, channel opportunity, or shortlist needs a cautious go/no-go or next-step memo.

Do Not Use When

• Do not replace platform collection skills.
• Do not claim hosted supplier collection from this released skill surface.
• Do not turn incomplete evidence into a confident sourcing recommendation.

Core Rule

A sourcing judgment is only as strong as its weakest missing layer.

Always separate:
