Design a Negotiation Support Tool for Climate-Tech Supplier Contracts
Overview
What this challenge is about.
You will design and prototype a negotiation support tool for a single supplier contract with six issues (price per kg, delivery lead time, minimum order quantity, payment terms, exclusivity, quality SLA). Capture each side's stated ranges, model the joint utility, surface Pareto-improving counter-offers, and log every round. Build in Streamlit. Use a worked example with realistic procurement numbers. Deliver the tool, a 4-page playbook, and a debrief template for post-negotiation review.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Replace freeform supplier negotiations with a tool-supported process that tracks concessions and surfaces Pareto-improving counter-offers.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Model multi-issue bargaining with explicit utility functions
- Identify Pareto-improving moves in a multi-issue space
- Design tooling that survives procurement turnover
- Translate negotiation theory into a playbook a non-academic procurement lead can run
