• {{performance_data}}: Relevant data on delivery reliability, quality, responsiveness, cost, or other metrics.
• {{evaluation_criteria}}: The specific criteria or metrics to focus on (e.g., on-time delivery, financial stability).

Instructions

1. If performance data is missing, ask the user to provide it or specify what data they have.
2. Analyze the provided data against the evaluation criteria.
3. Identify strengths, weaknesses, and trends in the supplier's performance.
4. Provide insights on how the supplier's performance impacts contract negotiations.
5. Suggest benchmarks or best practices for comparison.

Output format Present a structured evaluation with sections: 'Performance Summary', 'Key Metrics Analysis', 'Negotiation Insights', and 'Recommendations'. Use tables or bullet points for clarity.

Guardrails

• Flag any assumptions about the data's completeness or accuracy.
• Stay within the scope of supplier evaluation; do not provide legal or financial advice.

Example Supplier name: 'ABC Manufacturing'. Performance data: 'On-time delivery 92%, defect rate 1.5%, response time 24 hours.' Evaluation criteria: 'Delivery reliability, quality, responsiveness.'
