Vendors, experts and service delivery managers get their own assistant

The assistant used to answer everyone the same way. Now it answers you as what you actually are, with the reads that match your job.

Vendors — your funnel, decomposed

Ask how your funnel moved over a period and you get the breakdown, not a paragraph about it: every lead you sourced counted once, at the furthest stage it reached, so the steps add up to exactly the number of leads you started with. Ask where they dropped out and you get the losses by reason, counted separately from the stages they never reached.

Every figure states the assumptions it was built on — which period fixes the group, how stages are counted, how qualified-out leads are treated — and where a number is one your KPI dictionary defines, you see the dictionary’s own words beneath it rather than a rewording. You can also ask what your open book looks like right now, and which leads sit in any status.

Experts — what is worth bidding on

Ask what to bid on and your pool comes back triaged: worth bidding, look closer, or likely a trap, with the reason for each verdict on the row — your recorded fit for that lead, how long is left to bid, and what the brief does not say. Nothing is re-scored; these are the signals already on your matches.

When a lead looks worth pursuing but the brief is thin, the assistant will draft the question to ask before you bid — built only from what the brief actually leaves out, so you are never asking about something the customer already covered. You send it yourself, in the platform.

Service delivery managers — demand against supply

Ask about coverage and you see it pool by pool: how much demand each carries, how many matched experts are available, the shortfall, and how ready they are to deliver — worst coverage first. Pools where every matched expert is already at capacity are called out separately, because a full pool and an empty one look the same on a status light and need opposite responses. Bid-price signals sit alongside, so you can tell a pool nobody can serve from one nobody will bid on at that price.

What it will not do

These are read-only. The assistant can find, rank and explain, but you take the action — it cannot submit a bid, chase a blocker, or change a status. Every answer is scoped to your organisation and to what your own permissions allow; where a permission narrows what you can see, the answer says so rather than quietly showing you less.
