Method

How an answer is made.

  1. Your words become requirements: capability, material, quantity, place and deadline.
  2. The records are filtered on those facts, then searched by text and by meaning.
  3. Results are ranked by a fixed formula: capability, material, location, MOQ, lead time and verification.
  4. The answer is written only from the records on file. Anything missing is marked as not available.
