Summary

Procurement teams report that supplier assessments (ESG questionnaires, sustainability policies, emissions reporting, third-party scores) are produced in a silo and have almost no influence on which supplier actually wins the RFP — the decision reverts to price, delivery, and technical fit. Worse, there is essentially no visibility below tier-1 suppliers: questionnaires don't reveal real ownership, sub-tier manufacturing, or prohibited-source risk, so verifiers have no way to catch misrepresentation or hidden red flags in the chain. Teams openly say 'another supplier questionnaire doesn't magically fix that,' meaning current vetting tooling produces paperwork rather than trustworthy, actionable supplier intelligence. This gap maps directly to SupplierProof's promise of a fast, sourced brief with red flags and a trust score before money changes hands.
