    name: 'Request text converted into a reviewed quote draft'
    status: approved
    mechanism: >-
      Capture the text of an inbound email or telephone transcript through a
      channel integration, apply customer-configured extraction and matching
      rules to populate the account, product, quantity, destination, and timing
      fields of a draft quote, and retain unresolved values for staff review.
      Once a person confirms or corrects the draft, submit the structured quote
      through the native validation and calculation path rather than rekeying
      the complete request into a blank record.
    capabilities:
      - name: 'Ingest email text or telephone transcripts into the quote-intake workflow'
        classification: integrated
        conditions:
          - "Email requires a connection to the customer's inbound mail source."
          - 'Telephone requests require a transcript or other text capture from an external service.'
          - 'No specific inbound-email or telephony connector was verified in MCP server d8189168.'
          - 'Integration availability and implementation effort must be confirmed before recommendation.'
        evidence_ids: []
      - name: 'Extract and match account, product, quantity, destination, and timing information'
        classification: configured
        conditions:
          - 'The customer must provide representative requests and define the fields required before quoting can begin.'
          - 'Product terminology must be mapped to maintained account, item, variant, packaging, warehouse, and unit-of-measure records.'
          - 'Extraction and matching thresholds must route ambiguous or missing values to review.'
          - 'Configuration and testing effort cannot be sized before the source communication and master data are inspected.'
          - 'Analogous parsing hooks were observed, but no dedicated inbound-request-to-sales-quote implementation was verified.'

      - name: 'Create a structured draft sales quote with account, line, destination, and timing fields'
        classification: native
        conditions:
          - 'Required account, contact, salesperson, product, variant, packaging, quantity, warehouse, and shipping-date values must resolve.'
          - 'The native create path accepts structured quote data; it does not itself interpret raw communication.'
        evidence_ids: []
      - name: 'Review and correct the structured quote before processing'
        classification: native
        conditions:
          - 'A staff member must review missing, ambiguous, or low-confidence values.'
          - 'The review process must preserve the source communication in notes, attachments, or an associated intake record.'
        evidence_ids: []
      - name: 'Validate and calculate the confirmed quote'
        classification: native
        conditions:
          - 'Calculation begins only after the quote contains valid structured line data.'
          - 'This capability does not by itself bind the quote to a specific production asset or schedule slot.'
        evidence_ids: []
    expected_outcome_hypotheses:
      - 'A representative inbound request can reach staff as a partially or fully populated quote draft instead of a blank form.'
      - 'For requests the configured rules can interpret, staff review can replace re-entry of every required field.'
      - 'Missing or ambiguous request information can be identified before the quote enters pricing and scheduling.'
      - 'A confirmed intake record can enter the existing quote validation and calculation path without a second transcription step.'
    limitations:
      - 'No dedicated inbound-email-to-quote or telephone-to-quote workflow was verified in MCP server d8189168.'
      - >-
        The observed quote-email extraction flow retrieves outbound email-thread
        metadata for an existing quote; it does not parse an inbound request.
      - 'Telephone intake depends on an external transcript or equivalent text capture.'
      - 'Unstructured requests can omit required information or describe products ambiguously, so human review remains necessary.'
      - 'Reliable matching depends on maintained account, product, variant, packaging, unit, warehouse, and address data.'
      - 'The accuracy, coverage, integration effort, and proportion of requests requiring review are not established.'
    prohibited_claims:
      - 'That every quote request can be interpreted or processed automatically.'
      - 'That inbound email parsing or telephone transcription is a verified native capability.'
      - 'That the existing quote-email extraction flow parses inbound request content.'
      - 'That extracted product, quantity, destination, or timing values are correct without review.'
      - 'That this mechanism removes human judgment from custom quoting.'
      - 'Any quantified labor saving, response-time improvement, accuracy rate, or throughput increase.'
      - 'That the mechanism automatically binds price or delivery date to a production asset or schedule slot.'

proofIds is empty. Run W7 after at least one eligible evidence record exists.
Every capability has evidence_ids: []. The implementation checks from MCP server d8189168 are deployment-specific observations, not canonical evidence records. Route formal product evidence through W9.
Inbound integration is unverified. Confirm the email and telephone capture path before recommending this solution.
Configured effort is unknown. Inspect representative requests and the customer's master data before estimating extraction and matching work.
Priority 65 is approved for this draft only. Revisit it when the related problem has an approved priority and the solution catalog is ordered against current sales priorities.
