Why this product was built
Across that body of work, the same pattern recurs: by the time a procurement file reaches the contracting authority, certain decisions have already been made — sometimes without the analysis the file will later be expected to defend. The cost of that drift shows up later as findings, rework, and reputational risk.
GC Procurement Advisor was built to address the period before procurement is formally engaged: to give business and IT teams a more disciplined starting point, to surface unknowns rather than paper over them, and to leave a structured record that the next set of advisors can actually use.
