At the end of a supplier comparison you need a view, not another table. A recommendation summary gives one, with its assumptions on the same page. This page describes what it contains, so that you know the view is tied to its reasons. It shows structure only: no company, number or finding on it is real.
The summary states a preferred option on your stated criteria and weights. It then shows the chain behind it: which findings carry the most weight, which assumptions had to be made, and which conditions must hold for the view to stand. It is a reading of the comparison and rests on it.
It is written for a decision-maker who may not open the matrix, so its assumptions are stated on the page.
The preferred option on your criteria and the main reason, in plain terms.
The few findings and criteria that decided it, with their evidence labels.
Everything assumed rather than found, each flagged for your confirmation.
Terms or facts that must hold for the view to stand, such as a specification being confirmed in writing.
Negotiation, ordering and payment stay with you.
Contract review is for a lawyer.
It reads the evidence available at the date and carries no promise about delivery or quality later.
An assumption that is wrong changes the view, so check each one against what you know.
Each condition is a question for the supplier.
If one of the few findings that decided the view is wrong or dated, the view moves with it.

It is the option the evidence favours on your criteria and weights. A different weighting can change it.
It rests on a comparison. Without one, there is nothing for it to be tied to.
It is written to be read without the matrix, with its assumptions on the page.
No. It makes no promise about future conduct or quality.
