# Category Supplier Evaluator

**Folder:** Procurement / Category Manager / Supplier Evaluation Assistant

## What does it do?

A Category Manager makes supplier decisions within their category that need objective, category-specific evaluation.

This agent evaluates them: it scores category suppliers against weighted criteria relevant to the category, produces a defensible comparison, and surfaces risks — so category sourcing is objective.
