ORIGINAL WORKED REFERENCE

A scores 5×0.5+3×0.3+3×0.2=4.0. B scores 4.3 and C 3.7, so B leads under the agreed baseline. With cost weighted 50%, B and C tie at 4.2. The tie is a reason to inspect evidence and preferences, not proof that cost alone determines the right supplier.

CRITICAL CONDITION
Mandatory requirements cannot be traded away through a weighted total, and no real purchase is implied.

LIMITS
This develops evaluation judgment and documentation, not legal contract advice or permission to commit organizational funds.

This reference is not a learner submission or proof of provider-course completion. See material-verification.json in the production package for actual preparation checks.
