Process
Start at the Supplier Stage You Actually Have
Start with what exists today: candidates to compare, a new supplier need, or an active supplier with unresolved RFQ, sample, technical, or documentation work.
How the work progresses
Four Steps from Need to Delivery
The depth changes by project; scope, deliverables, timing, and responsibilities are agreed before work begins.
-
01
Clarify Need
Share the current supplier situation, stage, must-haves, timing, and available information. Confirm whether SLZEN is a practical fit.

ResultScope & Deliverables Agreed -
03

04
Deliver & Close or Continue
Deliver the agreed output and flag unresolved blockers. The customer decides whether to close, start another defined project, or define ongoing coordination if recurring work remains.

Evidence depth
Match the Evidence to the Project Stage
Keep supplier statements, supporting documents, and any separately agreed third-party verification distinct. Add deeper verification only when the project stage requires it.
