Working brief

Decisions to settle before approval

Review field weights, assumptions, exclusions, version history and the boundary between brief readiness and feasibility. The purpose of this page is to make the buyer's next decision explicit and give the project team a shared review point before cost, tooling or production commitments.

  • Document score logic and non-feasibility limitations
  • Confirm the intended user, use environment and approval owner for methodology
  • Separate required scope from options that can wait for a later version
  • Record market, quantity, budget and schedule constraints before approval

What the review should return

A useful review does more than confirm that the project is possible. It records the assumptions, files, risks and approvals that control the next milestone.

  • Versioned RFQ methodology
  • Assumptions, exclusions and unresolved-question register
  • Representative sample, calculation or validation recommendation
  • Next milestone with an accountable reviewer and exit criteria

Evidence buyers should request

These items prevent the page from becoming a generic marketing claim. They should be current, relevant to this product decision and available for review at the appropriate project stage.

  • Current methodology example, demonstration or worked calculation
  • Reviewer-approved specification, diagram, template or methodology
  • Relevant sample, test, production or process record
  • Dated approval, permission status and revision history

How this fits the project

Factories cannot compare a target cost, MOQ or schedule when product assumptions differ. The builder separates known requirements, preferences and unresolved decisions so every review starts from the same brief. For this decision, the team should confirm ownership, reviewers and exit criteria before moving to the next stage.

The downloadable or emailed plan records working assumptions only. Final engineering, quotation, compliance, intellectual-property and schedule commitments belong in the reviewed project scope and signed agreement.

Common question

how is my RFQ completeness score actually calculated

The methodology page documents the field weights and scoring logic behind the completeness result, along with assumptions, exclusions and version history. The score measures how ready your brief is for supplier review, not whether the product is feasible or what it will cost. Feasibility, quotation and compliance are separate judgments that need an engineering review.
