# How to Monitor Buyer Spending Patterns with ChatGPT

Use `buyer_intelligence` and `search_awards` to understand buyer behavior. ChatGPT presents the analysis in clear, shareable formats that business development teams can use for account planning.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter in ChatGPT: {"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}
2. Name the buyer or agency you want to analyze.
3. Run `buyer_intelligence` to pull spending and supplier data.
4. Use `search_awards` to get recent award details for context.
5. Ask ChatGPT to create a buyer profile with spending trends, top suppliers, and recommended engagement timing.

## Example Prompt

```
Use contract-opportunities to analyze NHS Digital as a buyer. Create a buyer profile showing annual spend, top suppliers, average contract size, and recommended timing for engagement.
```

## Tips

- Ask for a one-page account brief you can share with the BD team.
- Request a comparison table if you are evaluating multiple target buyers.
- Include supplier diversity metrics to identify set-aside opportunities.
