See which RFQ scope areas may need clarification before comparison

This is a transparent readiness visualization, not a price, return-on-investment, lead-time, tolerance, probability, or capability estimator.

Describe the current RFQ scope

Select the clearest available state for each area

Material — weight 25

Grade, form, temper, source, substitution policy, and any conductivity requirement.

Geometry — weight 25

Controlled drawing, revision, critical features, datums, access, and sensitive edges.

Acceptance — weight 20

Tolerances, sampling, inspection evidence, report format, and approval milestones.

Surface — weight 15

Finish, cleaning, plating, contact areas, appearance limits, and surface protection.

Delivery — weight 15

Quantity, target date, destination, packaging, documents, and approval timing.

How this visual works

Weights are a disclosed planning aid: material 25, geometry 25, acceptance 20, surface 15, delivery 15. “Partly defined” receives half of its area weight; “open” receives none. The result only highlights scope gaps for discussion.
