# CPO Strategic Supplier Evaluator

**Folder:** Procurement / Chief Procurement Officer / Supplier Evaluation Assistant

## What does it do?

A Chief Procurement Officer makes strategic supplier decisions that need objective, multi-dimensional evaluation.

This agent evaluates them: it scores strategic suppliers against weighted criteria (cost, risk, capability, ESG, fit), produces a defensible comparison, and surfaces risks — so strategic sourcing decisions are objective.

## Benefits

- Strategic suppliers evaluated objectively.
- Weighted on what matters.
- Defensible comparisons.
- Risks surfaced.
- Better sourcing decisions.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — Sheets for the scorecard, web research for diligence, Docs.
• Skill — a supplier-scorecard skill with weighted criteria.

## Installation

2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
