The marketing department seems more focused on promotion than supplying anything, so I don't think they qualify as suppliers in this scenario.

I feel like shareholders might be involved in decision-making, but they don't supply anything directly. Is that right?

I remember we discussed suppliers in the context of providing resources or services, but I'm not sure if the finance department fits that definition.

This is a good question that tests our understanding of stakeholders in a business context. I'm confident I can identify the correct answer here, which is option A - the organizations the analyst will approach for research and feedback on new equipment.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. The question mentions a business analyst assembling a team, but it's not clear to me who the "supplier" is referring to. I'll need to re-read this a few times to make sure I understand the scenario properly.

Okay, I think I've got it. The supplier in this case would be the organizations that the business analyst will approach to research and get feedback on new equipment technology. That makes the most sense based on the information provided.

Adding event suppressions for high false positive searches could be a smart move. That would cut down on unnecessary load and let the system focus on the meaningful results.

Option D? Really? The marketing team doesn't supply the equipment. They're more like the ones who have to make the best of what they're given. A all the way!
