# How to Monitor Buyer Spending Patterns with OpenClaw

Use `buyer_intelligence` and `search_awards` to profile multiple buyers efficiently. OpenClaw is the right choice when you need to compare spending patterns across an entire sector or group of agencies.

## Setup

openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter in OpenClaw: openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. List the buyers or agencies you want to profile.
3. Batch `buyer_intelligence` queries across all target buyers.
4. Run `search_awards` for each buyer to add recent award context.
5. Compare profiles to identify the highest-value, most accessible buyers for your services.

## Example Prompt

```
Use contract-opportunities to profile the top 5 UK government IT buyers. Compare their annual spend, supplier diversity, incumbent retention, and procurement cycle timing. Rank them by accessibility for a new entrant.
```

## Tips

- Normalize output fields across all buyer profiles so you can sort and rank programmatically.
- Run quarterly to track which buyers are growing or shrinking their supplier base.
- Focus depth on buyers that score highest on spend plus accessibility.
