# Procurement Use Cases

> Opportunity patterns for supplier comparison, purchase-order processing, contract extraction and spend analysis.

## Supplier comparison

Structure responses against agreed criteria and highlight missing information. Keep accountable commercial judgment with the procurement team.

## Purchase-order processing

Extract request data, validate against policy and route approvals or exceptions.

## Contract extraction

Identify key terms, dates, obligations and renewal points from contracts for review.

**Risk:** extracted terms can be incomplete or wrong; do not substitute extraction for legal interpretation.

## Spend analysis

Normalise descriptions and supplier names, group categories and identify concentration or unusual patterns.

## Supplier onboarding

Coordinate document collection, checks and status updates while keeping regulated or risk-sensitive approvals explicit.

## KPIs

* processing time;
* manual touches;
* exception rate;
* approval lead time;
* spend visibility;
* missed renewal events.

<Warning>
  Do not automate supplier selection solely from generated scores without clear criteria, provenance and accountable review.
