1. The supplier update may perform differently on the company’s invoice documents than on benchmark data. ✓

   Advance notice supports change management but does not demonstrate performance, limitations, or safety for the company’s actual documents.
2. The update notice may arrive after internal users observe changed outputs.

   Timing could matter, but the scenario’s decisive concern is whether supplier evidence applies to the company’s different invoice use case.
3. The company may need to archive older model documentation for audit and comparison.

   Archiving supports traceability, but retained records do not establish that the updated model works for the intended invoice population.
4. Procurement may lack authority to approve every supplier model update internally.

   Approval authority is a legitimate governance question, but it does not resolve the mismatch between benchmark evidence and actual inputs.
