Module 01 - Vendor Memory
The vendors who priced your last few MEP jobs of this type are pre-selected on Thursday morning.
Built from MEP's own quote-card history - vendor name, trade, project, date. Trade by trade, with a recency cue on each name.
Artifact ready
Thu 9am
Built after triage settles. Refreshes whenever quote cards change.
What it reads
Past vendor quote cards - who quoted, for what trade, on which project, when. Surfaces who's quoted recently, who's gone quiet, and which trade lanes look thin against the new tender's scope.
On screen
A draft RFQ list, organized by trade.
Trade lanes stay separate. Balancing never gets mixed into plumbing. Vendors who haven't quoted in over a year are flagged for a check-in call.

What stays manual
Who actually gets the call.
The list is a starting point, not an instruction. The estimator decides who to invite, who to skip, and who to phone before sending an RFQ.
Vendor relationships sit with the estimator. The tool surfaces who has quoted MEP recently and who has gone quiet - it doesn't send the RFQ or pick the shortlist.
