• check_quote ~323 tokens
  Is this supplier price fair? Compares a quoted price (any currency; per t, kg, lb, unit…) with the PackIndex benchmark: difference %, verdict FAIR / HIGH / LOW, where the quote sits in the benchmark's 12-month range and, with a quantity, the overpayment. Free callers are compared with the 12-week de
• compare_packaging_options ~499 tokens
  Optimise a Design Studio project (or a material): right-size, lightweight and substitute options with cost and carbon savings anchored to PackIndex. Requires the user's OPN account (sign-in or API key); spends 1 Suite run.
• compare_regions ~228 tokens
  One material across regions — e.g. PP in Europe, US, China and the Middle East — in USD with spreads vs a reference region; add freight per unit and duty % to compare landed costs. Professional plan and above.
• cost_packaging_spec ~125 tokens

• draft_packaging_spec ~136 tokens
  Turn a plain-language packaging brief into a structured spec (format, materials, dimensions, quantity, assumptions) saved as a Design Studio project. Requires the user's OPN account (sign-in or API key); spends 1 Suite run (Intelligence includes monthly free runs).

• find_suppliers ~222 tokens
  Who can quote a material or a Design Studio project: live Trade Exchange listings (price vs PackIndex benchmark) plus matched converters from the verified supplier network, filtered by country. Use before post_rfq. A project_id needs the user's OPN account; a material code works for anyone.

• get_market_movers ~164 tokens
  Biggest risers and fallers among inputs (L0), raw materials (L1) and semi-finished (L2) over 1w / 1m / 3m / 1y, optionally within a group (e.g. 'polymer', 'fibre', 'energy'). Essential plan and above.
• get_my_rfqs ~80 tokens

• packiq_quote_analysis ~178 tokens
  Benchmark every line of a pasted supplier packaging quote against live PackIndex finished-pack indices: deviation from the benchmark and a verdict per line (Sharp, Competitive, High, Overpriced), with market evidence for lines more than 8% above index. Requires the user's OPN account; costs 2 PACKIQ
• packiq_recyclability ~169 tokens
