Real outcomes
It's not the RFP.
It's the grade.
Purchasing students lose points for one wrong total cost of ownership calculation, a sourcing decision that ignored Kraljic matrix, or a supplier evaluation that confused capability with capacity. AskSia tightens those.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For sourcing strategy I dropped readings into AskSia. Got Kraljic matrix worked through with our case applied. Aced the supplier segmentation question on the midterm.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The CPSM practice questions AskSia generated matched item formats with rationales. Auto graded explanations pointed out where I had confused supplier development with rationalization.
