What is a machine-readable offer?
It is a structured representation of price, scope, SLA and constraints that systems can validate and compare.
Schema essentials
- Identifiers, versioning, validity period
- Scope and exclusions
- SLAs, security clauses
- Compliance declarations
Auditability
Keep a stable versioned schema, validation logs and approvals per change.
Procurement note
If you want this to survive audits, insist on artifacts: requirements, evaluation gates, logs, incident procedures and reversibility clauses.
