Clear records. Human decisions. No hidden automation.

What AI can do

• Structure buyer requirements from user-provided information.
• Search public web sources for potential suppliers and preserve citations.
• Rank reviewed suppliers against explicit commercial requirements.
• Identify missing facts and recommend the next workflow step.

What AI cannot do

• Publish a supplier without its consent and marketplace moderation.
• Verify a factory, certificate, sanctions status or legal eligibility by itself.
• Contact suppliers, send RFQs, select awards or purchase goods without human approval.
• Process payments. Payment processing is not enabled.

Marketplace safeguards

Private buyer records are scoped to the authenticated organization. Supplier portal access requires an invitation tied to the authenticated email. Public supplier profiles expose only approved publication fields. Evidence decisions, invitations, RFQs, awards and deal changes are recorded.

Source transparency

Official opportunity notices retain their original source. AI-discovered supplier candidates remain private until a person opens the cited source and confirms commercial facts. Directory approval is publication review, not independent certification.
