Vendor Management

Covers the vendor lifecycle from selection to exit. Two failures dominate this discipline: tiering vendors by spend rather than by blast radius, and losing every point of renewal leverage to a missed notice deadline. This skill is built around preventing both.

When to use this skill

Selecting a vendor and needing a scorecard that survives scrutiny
A renewal is approaching and the notice deadline needs to be found before it passes
Reviewing the vendor portfolio for concentration, risk tier coverage, and consolidation
Preparing a business review with SLA performance and credits owed
A vendor is underperforming and the case needs to be built on trend, not anecdote
Planning an exit and needing the sequence right

Inputs the skill expects

For selection: weighted criteria, must-have requirements, and 0-10 scores per vendor with evidence
For the portfolio: annual spend, category, renewal date, notice days, and auto-renew flag per vendor
Risk inputs per vendor: data classification, business criticality, alternative availability, subprocessor use
Internal owner per contract
For SLA reporting: committed metrics with target, actual, direction, credit tiers, and prior-period history
Annual contract value and the contractual credit cap

Clarify First

Before generating, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

Is the notice deadline known, or only the renewal date? — the notice deadline is what constrains action, and missing it removes all leverage for a full term
Were the scoring weights set before any vendor was scored? — weights chosen after seeing candidates produce a justification, not a decision
What does this vendor actually hold or touch? — data sensitivity and criticality drive the risk tier; spend does not
Which must-haves are genuinely pass/fail? — every entry on that list eliminates a candidate, so preferences belong in the weighted criteria

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.
