# What is bid fill?

> Bid fill populates the buyer response template from matched product data. Empty residual cells beat invented values.

# What is bid fill (response form completion)?

**Bid fill** is populating the buyer’s response template—often Excel columns for device details, yes/no compliance, and source references—with values derived from the matched product and documentation. Fill quality depends on match quality and residual review; empty is better than invented.

## Details

### Fill inputs

* Locked product identity
* Match outcomes + evidence
* Cellmap (where to write)

### Fill outputs

* Draft buyer workbook
* Residual queue (empty required, weak evidence, conflicts)

### Quality rules

* **No silent invention** — Audit and contractual risk
* **Evidence columns honest** — Evaluator verification
* **Residuals visible** — Human time on real risk
