Procurement artifact · ← Artifact catalog
What it is
The team's own estimate of a fair price, made before hearing what a seller quotes.
Why it matters
It is a check against being overcharged, worked out before a seller's number can bias it.
What it looks like here
Not tracked: this kind of pre-purchase work happens outside this system.

No process in the catalog reads this artifact.
This product does not track this artifact against a real project's data — procurement enters at signature; pre-award work is elsewhere.
Reached from a project's own process map, this page also shows what that project's own data says about this artifact.
