Demand & Sourcing

How much we need, where else we could buy it, and where the money goes. Demand decides coverage: a deal that covers less than our need leaves the rest to be bought later at the fallback price plus a risk charge, which can make a cheaper price score worse. A rising forecast is also an argument: more volume for the supplier.
