Abstract: A method and system for suppliers and buyers to share quality factor measures in a trusted electronically mediated environment. Selective anonymity of participants is enabled and data may be accessed without disclosure of either (a.) the party providing the data or (b.) the entity to which the data applies. Participants may request communications with anonymous parties related to accessible but non-associated parametric values, wherein a buyer may see the quality parameter values of a potential supplier but without learning the identity of the supplier. The buyer, or other participant, may disclose their identity to an anonymous potential supplier and request an initiation of communications with the anonymous party. The invented method is applicable beyond supply chain environments and is generally useful in multi-party environments designed for responsibly sharing sensitive information.
