Foodservice equipment: a real supplier shortlist, unedited
7 suppliers from one published campaign, "Commercial kitchen equipment dealers with installation and service coverage", searched the United States. The weakest run of the eight. Seven suppliers, one email address, and a brief that needed rewriting rather than repeating.

All 7 suppliers this campaign returned, which is not a shortlist. There is nothing here to compare, and no buyer could run a sourcing exercise from it. It is published with the rest because a programme that shows only the runs that worked is an advertisement, and what went wrong is in the write-up rather than in this table.
Score is the engine’s own, out of 100. Specialization is its one line reading of the company’s own pages, so it describes how a company presents itself rather than what anybody confirmed on site. Certificates are printed as each company publishes them and are not verified with the issuing body. Contact addresses are in the workbook only: several are patterns rather than discoveries, and a guessed address printed publicly is a wrong fact about a real company.
Written from runs, not from a keyword list
One campaign we published in full, brief “Metformin API, EU-compliant producers, GMP”. Every page the tool opened was judged, and the rejections are still on the record.
ONE REAL CAMPAIGN, “METFORMIN API”. NOT AN AVERAGE.
