Category and sector detection
Procright automatically detects the procurement category and sector as you write your specification. Both appear at the top of the editor and must be confirmed before discovery can start.
The detector runs every time you add, edit, or accept an AI-generated requirement. Two values update in parallel:
Category — The specific product or service type, with a confidence percentage (for example, Security Information and Event Management — 92%).
Sector — The industry the category belongs to (for example, Finance, Government, Manufacturing).
The category defines what you're buying; the sector narrows who it's for. Together they let discovery return a focused shortlist.
Improving the confidence score
Click the category badge in the top-right to open the detection panel. It shows the selected category, current confidence, sector, and up to five suggested questions (Tips) that can raise the score.
Confidence guide:
Below 70% — Specification is too thin. Add more requirements.
70–89% — Direction is right but discovery will be noisy.
90%+ — Category is locked in.
When concrete improvements are available, a Tips Found counter appears. Each tip is a single question (for example, "What is the expected daily log volume?"). Click Apply to pass it to the AI assistant — the requirement is added and detection re-runs. Most specifications become discovery-ready after three or four tips.
Overriding and starting discovery
The detector is usually correct but not always. Open the Selected Category dropdown to pick a different category, or change the Sector manually. Manual selections are sticky — the detector stops proposing alternatives.
The Discover Products button in the bottom bar uses colour to show readiness:
Orange — Specification is too thin or confidence is below threshold. Clicking has no effect.
Green — Category is detected with enough confidence and the specification has enough items. Clicking starts discovery.
This check can't be skipped. Cloning a template or merging an existing document runs the same check but usually lands green immediately.
