"text" : "It’s pretty straightforward! The tool takes the ratings you provide for each category—quality, delivery reliability, pricing, communication, and sustainability—and averages them out equally. So if you rate a supplier a 9 on quality but a 6 on pricing, each score carries the same weight in the final result. You’ll get a number out of 10 that reflects their overall performance.

"text" : "No worries, we’ve got you covered. If you accidentally input a number below 1 or above 10, the tool will flag it and ask you to correct it before processing. It’s just a little nudge to keep the data valid so your results are accurate and meaningful.
