# Suppliers by Business Classification

The Suppliers by Business Classification report provides a chart that summarizes the number of suppliers available within each business classification. Suppliers are included even if they have never been invited to a request for quote event. A supplier's business classification is determined by the Fairmarkit business classification or a Supplier.io diversity tag. Suppliers can be assigned to more than one business classification.

**Note**: The Supplier Diversity dashboard filters will not update this report.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fairmarkit.com/buyers/analytics/supplier-diversity/suppliers-by-business-classification.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
