I think the key here is that qualitative KPIs can lead to poor supplier performance. If the metrics are subjective, it gives the supplier less clarity on what they need to achieve. Definitely an important factor to consider.

Ah, I see what they're getting at. Qualitative KPIs can pull focus away from the more objective, quantitative metrics that are often the priority in a contract. That's a good point to keep in mind.

I disagree with D. Including qualitative KPIs doesn't make the buyer seem weak, it shows they care about the bigger picture.
