Supplier Domain

Why This Exists

The Supplier Domain is responsible for supplier profiles, supplier relationships, supplier verification signals, supplier capabilities, supplier quotes, supplier performance, ratings, reviews, response time, previous contracts, and preferred supplier relationships.

Algosure is the world's first AI Digital Procurement Company. Procurement execution depends on reliable supplier context: who can provide what, how trusted they are, how they have performed, how quickly they respond, and whether they are preferred for future work.

Domain-Driven Design Position

Supplier is a core procurement network domain. It owns supplier state and performance records. Marketplace may publish or discover suppliers, but Supplier owns supplier relationship and performance state.

Scope

This domain does not own customer organization facts, marketplace publication workflow, contract delivery state, or AI reasoning sessions. It owns supplier facts and supplier relationship state.
