Recipe: Procurement brief writer

Generate a structured procurement brief from a product name and a budget ceiling. Meridian chains research, supplier discovery, and compliance checks into a single document.

Ingredients

  • Product name (exact or descriptive)
  • Budget ceiling in USD
  • Optional: preferred supplier list (CSV)
  • Optional: compliance framework (SOC2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP)

Steps

  1. Define scope. Meridian researches the product category, identifies 3–5 suppliers, and pulls public pricing data.
  2. Budget alignment. The engine filters suppliers within the ceiling and flags outliers with a variance note.
  3. Compliance overlay. If a framework is specified, Meridian cross-references each supplier's published attestations.
  4. Draft assembly. A markdown brief is produced with executive summary, supplier comparison table, risk notes, and a recommended pick.

Example prompt

"Write a procurement brief for a cloud SIEM. Budget $120k/year. Prefer SOC2-compliant vendors."

Output

A downloadable markdown file and a shareable read-only link. The brief includes an executive summary, supplier matrix, compliance gap analysis, and a final recommendation with justification.

This recipe uses Meridian's research agent, budget validator, and compliance checker. All supplier data is sourced from public materials at generation time. Always verify pricing directly with vendors before purchase.
