What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Structure VAVE or value-engineering cost-reduction opportunities from BOM, quotation summaries, teardown notes, benchmarking notes, and meeting records. Use for automotive cost analysis, should-cost review, supplier comparison, and opportunity-pipeline drafting.

VAVE Cost Opportunity
Use this skill to create a disciplined first draft of a cost-reduction opportunity register. It assists analysis but never replaces engineering, quality, procurement, finance, or supplier approval.
Safety Boundary
Never fabricate cost, quotation, material, supplier, or engineering feasibility data.
Every conclusion must be labeled as one of:
Fact: directly present in the source.Calculation: derived from stated numbers and formula.Hypothesis: plausible but not proven.Needs confirmation: requires business owner review.
Inputs
Useful inputs include:
- BOM or parts list.
- Supplier quotation summary.
- Material, weight, process, tooling, logistics, or packaging notes.
- Teardown or benchmarking notes.
- Historical cost or target cost.
- Meeting minutes and action items.
If key inputs are missing, start by listing required missing fields.
Workflow
- Normalize the source material into a part-level table.
- Identify cost drivers: material, weight, process, tooling, yield, logistics, packaging, quality requirements, supplier margin, or volume.
- Compare available baselines: current vs target, supplier A vs B, internal history, benchmark, or estimated should-cost.
- Generate opportunity hypotheses only when evidence exists.
- For each opportunity, capture expected impact, confidence, risk, validation path, owner, and next action.
- Separate quick wins from engineering-change opportunities and strategic supplier opportunities.

Quality Checks
- Do not rank opportunities solely by estimated savings; include risk and validation effort.
- Mark any missing cost baseline explicitly.
- Do not expose supplier-sensitive information in broad summaries.
- Route safety, regulatory, quality, and warranty-impacting changes to human review.
