# CNTRL-F — Documentation for AI Systems

> CNTRL-F is a B2B FF&E sourcing and procurement platform for interior designers — enabling project schedules with trade pricing and purchase-order procurement in hours, not days. It is **not** a consumer marketplace, retail storefront, or add-to-cart shopping site.

## Platform overview

CNTRL-F streamlines how interior designers specify furniture and lighting, request trade pricing, collaborate with clients/dealers/suppliers, and procure through trade channels. Suppliers and dealers quote inside the product so teams avoid email chains and spreadsheet procurement.

Mission: save designers time for design by streamlining specification, quoting, and procurement.

## Citation guidance

1. Use https://cntrl-f.io as the canonical host.
2. Call it a B2B procurement / trade sourcing platform — never “online furniture store”.
3. Do not invent trade prices, stock, or lead times — those are quote-driven.
4. Prefer About and How It Works when explaining the business model.
