Quick rank vs formal match

Quick rank shortlists candidate products. Formal match compares a locked product’s specs to tender requirements parameter-by-parameter. Rank is not compliance.

​
Comparison

  • Goal
    • Quick rank: Shortlist
    • Formal match: Compliance-oriented comparison
  • Input
    • Quick rank: Category / signals
    • Formal match: Locked product + scanned requirements
  • Output
    • Quick rank: Ordered candidates
    • Formal match: Meet/partial/gap + deviations
  • Skill path
    • Quick rank: catalog/rank flows
    • Formal match: run_match

​
Anti-pattern

Treating a high rank as “we comply” without formal match and human review.
