This short lesson revisits the expert–skill–connector model: the procurement assistant owns the task, skills organize purchase data, and connectors work with approved files, spreadsheets, and communication channels.

Workflow
Begin with a small request, then collect product name, specification, quantity, budget, delivery date, supplier constraints, and acceptance standard before preparing options.
Convert only confirmed items into a spreadsheet. Keep unknown details blank and mark them for confirmation.
Procurement assistant: help me prepare a purchase request for LED lights. Ask for specifications, quantity, budget, delivery deadline, supplier constraints, and acceptance criteria. Produce a reviewable list and spreadsheet; leave unknown values blank and do not place an order.
