Track supplier clarification answers and their status

Keep the original question, exact answer and whether it is a confirmed scope change or still an explanation.

Close the question only when the answer resolves it

The fictional buyer asks whether an export includes cancelled bookings, which environment a demo uses and who supplies final copy. A generic brochure is not an answer to these specific questions.

A broad answer can leave the decision open

Can Q-1 close after receiving “all current records”?

Show the worked answer

Not yet. The question is whether cancelled status is included. Ask for explicit inclusion and a matching synthetic export; keep the original answer unchanged.

The log does not turn a casual answer into a binding term. It separates unresolved facts, demonstrations and changes requiring the project’s agreed confirmation route.
