Not the Final One.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" style=\"text-align: left;\">In most procurement processes, price serves one purpose: shortlisting. What it does not reveal is whether a supplier can reproduce consistent quality across 10, 20, or 50 shipments.
