BQS
Buyer Qualification Score
Structured reading of counterparty qualification based on accepted evidence.
Risk begins before the contract.
LOIs, KYCs, CIS forms, ICPOs, mandates and banking documents move through fragmented chains. The challenge is deciding whether the evidence received justifies exposing time, reputation, suppliers, banks and operating capacity.

- 03
Freeze

- 04
Gate 2
Produces institutional artifacts from the frozen version.
Lock: Never recalculates silently.
- 05
Remediation
Organizes open items, required evidence, owners and deadlines.

Methodological independence
Revenue, commissions, commercial importance or LAM's role in execution never make a score, Finding, Gate or recommendation more permissive.
Commercial importance may change priority, never the evidence standard.

A better decision does not mean an impossible promise.
