Use case

Verify vendor references with visible authorization status.

OBAM helps procurement, legal, and risk teams evaluate vendor claims through governed authorization records instead of static self-asserted reference language.

Problem

Vendor reference claims often appear in proposals and public materials without a clear, current signal from the referenced company. That ambiguity slows diligence and increases procurement and legal risk.

Workflow

Convert each claim into a governed record, require authorization from the referenced party, and maintain lifecycle states such as active, expiring, and revoked.

Verification

Publish visible authorization status that buyers can inspect during sourcing, contracting, and renewal diligence.

Outcomes

Improve diligence quality, reduce back-and-forth on claim validity, and create an auditable trail for governance decisions over time.
