Procurement board brief: duplicate spend and supplier leakage from catalog disorder.

A board-ready explanation of how duplicate item records create supplier alias leakage, off-contract spend, and preventable procurement fragmentation.

Decision thesis

The board-level argument.

Recommended next action: Run the diagnostic to generate a category-ready workbook before standardization workshops or supplier consolidation decisions.
