# Orbid Read Tender

> Use when the user attaches or pastes a tender, bid, RFP, ITT, or 标书 and wants a read-only briefing. Triggers: 读这份标书, 分析这份招标, what's in this tender PDF, warranty, spare parts, eligibility, lots, deadline — from a file in the chat, not from Orbid. No Orbid account. Not for listing org sessions, run_match, filling Excel, or catalog gaps.

# Read a tender (no Orbid)

Read-only briefing of **documents the user provided**. No login. No MCP. Do not write, fill, or match a catalog.

## Gate

Need a tender in this chat: attached PDF/DOCX/XLSX, a local path, or pasted text.

No file → ask them to attach. Even if Orbid MCP is already connected, do not call Orbid MCP. Do not invent a buyer, deadline, or certificate.

If they also attached a product datasheet, IFU, or brochure, use **orbid-read-compare**.

## Iron law

```
ALL DATA MUST ORIGINATE FROM THE ATTACHED FILE.
Allowed: Extract → cite page or sheet
Forbidden: Prior knowledge → other vendors → “typical ICU ventilator”
```

Missing cell → machine token `NOT SPECIFIED` (optional gloss 未写明). Unreadable scan or garbled digits → `UNABLE TO READ`. Do not OCR-guess.

## Extract (cite page or sheet)

Load `references/extract-contract.md` when extracting tables. Record only what is written:

1. **Who / what** — buyer, country, lots, device category, quantity, submission deadline.
2. **Compliance** — CE / ISO / FDA / local registration, origin, bidder eligibility. Quote the clause; a header “CE marking” alone is chrome, not a gate.
3. **Hard specs** — shall / must / **mandatory** vs **preferred** (do not collapse). Value, unit, condition.
4. **Service** — warranty years, spare parts, training, installation, response time.
5. **Admin** — language, copies, bid bond, templates to fill (**name them; do not fill**).

## Adversarial cases

Honesty fixtures (same rules on live files): `tender-missing-ce` (no CE/ISO clause → `NOT SPECIFIED`), `datasheet-unreadable-digits`, `datasheet-mixed-sku`, `overlay-not-evaluated`.

## Output

Short brief + open questions (missing unit, conflicting lots, unreadable scan). Not a bid decision and not a product match.

## Do not

- Fill Excel or bid forms.
- Call Orbid MCP or claim “your catalog.”
- Invent ISO/CE numbers.
