## Buyer questions

- [ ] Can a global score be useful?
- [ ] Should the same competitors be tracked everywhere?
- [ ] Can AI write the final translation?

## Evidence-led work plan

### 1. Why is direct translation insufficient?

Dutch, German and English buyers may describe the same decision differently and expect different providers, laws, currencies and proof.
