Description
Answer policy, FMR, FIAR, and local SOP questions for vendor collusion graph analysis using approved sources; provide citations and draft compliant next steps. The MVP would connect ERP transactions, vendor master, travel, payroll, contract pay, public/exclusion lists, investigative data and produce read-only recommendations for DoD OIG, DFAS, Components, DCAA/DCMA where applicable.

Expected benefit
Improved policy consistency, shorter research time, better training and compliance support.
Audit / financial statement impact
Expenses, accounts payable, accounts receivable, compliance reporting
Controls / human review
Human review for unusual/high-dollar items; policy citations; audit logs; role-based access; periodic accuracy testing. RAG answers must cite approved sources; no free-form legal/financial determinations without policy owner review.

ERP transactions, vendor master, travel, payroll, contract pay, public/exclusion lists, investigative data; master/reference data; audit logs; policy/control requirements; prior exceptions; relevant document evidence.
Possible metrics
citation accuracy; first-contact resolution; user satisfaction; policy answer QA pass rate
MVP scope
Start with one Component/reporting entity and one subprocess (vendor collusion graph analysis) for two close/audit cycles; read-only outputs first.
