What is a residual in bid fill?
A residual is a response cell that stays empty, uncertain, or weakly evidenced after automated fill. Orbid leaves residuals visible so specialists can fix catalog data, interpret ambiguous clauses, or fill commercial rows—empty is safer than invented values.Details
- Missing catalog data — Enrich product specs, re-match / re-fill
- Ambiguous tender wording — Human interpretation + note
- Commercial / pricing lines — Commercial owner fills
- Hard-limit fail — Strategy, no-bid, or deviation letter
Anti-patterns
- Forcing every cell to fill without evidence
- Treating a blank residual as “agent failure” instead of a review signal
- Submitting without scanning residuals
