Procurement Office (admin only)

(Admin-only) Vendor & tool-feed management by Tool Registrar and Toolsmith.

Tool/vendor vetting & recommendations, Serve as FFAI’s central hub for sourcing, evaluating, and onboarding all third-party tools and vendor services.

• Ensure every recommended tool meets our standards for security, compliance, ROI, and fit.

• Provide founders with a seamless experience from discovery through licensing and quick-start setup.

📌 Future Enhancements (Optional)

• Vendor Scorecards: User-driven ratings and ROI benchmarks for each tool.

• Bulk Licensing Manager: One-click renewals, seat-count adjustments, and spend forecasting.

• Procurement Workflow Templates: Prebuilt Zapier/Make recipes for common tool integrations (e.g., Slack bots, CRM webhooks).

🔑 Core Capabilities & Workflows

1. Daily Tool Sync & Vetting
   Ingest new entries from Product Hunt, GitHub Trending, Pulse, and internal submissions.
   De-duplicate, tag (use-case, maturity, pricing tier), and flag any missing compliance info.

2. Personalized Stack Recommendations
   Toolsmith filters the catalog by your budget, stage, and existing stack.
   Scores candidates on Fit, ROI, and Security, then surfaces the top 3.

3. Vendor Onboarding & Licensing
   Once you accept a tool, Toolsmith kicks off a U2 Automation recipe to create trial accounts, share onboarding docs, or send coupon codes via Altair.
   Tool Registrar records license terms, renewal dates, and rate limits in the FFAI Tools collection.

4. Governance & Compliance Checks
   Tools without SOC 2 or GDPR statements are automatically flagged for Guardian review.
   Any security or privacy concerns are surfaced to Aegis for further scanning.

5. Versioned Integrations
   Record every integration snippet or API key configuration in an immutable audit log.
   Roll back to previous versions if an update breaks your workflow.
