BATNA, ZOPA, anchors, concessions

Forecaster

Game-theory scenarios and decision briefs

Simulations

Realistic role-play with guidance

Governance

Approvals, RBAC, audit log, templates

A clear workflow from start to outcome

Use the same 4-step flow for renewals, supplier price increases, payment terms, SLAs, and strategic sourcing.

Step 1
Initiate

Capture context in minutes (or upload supporting docs)

Start with a short prompt, then attach the artifacts your team already has. Negotiations.AI helps you consolidate the facts, stakeholders, constraints, and success criteria into a usable starting point.

  • Contracts & agreements (terms, pricing, SLAs)
  • Pricing proposals and competitor quotes
  • Email threads and discussion history
  • Meeting notes and past negotiation context
New negotiation form capturing the situation, counterparty, deal value, and due date

Example intake: start with a short prompt, then add counterparties, deal value, and attachments.

Step 2
Strategize

Build a negotiation plan with BATNA, ZOPA, and anchors

Turn messy inputs into a clear, shareable plan. Capture your opening position, walkaway, concession trades, counterparty hypotheses, and talk tracks you can reuse across the organization.

BATNA + ZOPA

Know your range and walkaway.

Talk tracks

Scripts, questions, and rebuttals.

Stakeholders

Who approves what, and why.

Consistency

Reusable templates and standards.

Step 3
Practice

Role-play with an AI negotiation co-pilot

Rehearse the real conversation with an AI counterparty. Get feedback, refine your phrasing, and pressure-test your plan before you negotiate live.

  • Scenario-based practice (renewals, price increases, SLAs, payment terms)
  • Live scorecards for questioning, concessions, and value creation
  • Co-pilot prompts when you get stuck (or want to escalate)
  • Save what worked for next time

Full simulation scoring is included in Pro and above. Individual includes a lighter practice mode for occasional sessions.

After meeting: review action plans, question banks, and draft talking points for the next round.

Step 4
Execute

Capture outcomes and build institutional memory

After each negotiation, log what happened, what worked, and what you'd change. Over time, your team builds a living playbook: templates, learnings, and reusable strategy patterns.

Templates & playbooks

Reusable prep and conversation structures.

Approvals & governance

Standardize how decisions get signed off.

Counterparty memory

Track counterparties and relationship context.

Reporting

See readiness, pipeline value, and outcomes.

Enterprise-ready

Differentiators that make procurement negotiations scalable

Negotiations.AI is built for enterprise procurement and supplier negotiations: governance, collaboration, and decision support that help you standardize how negotiations are prepared, approved, and executed.

Game-theory scenario forecaster

Decision support for supplier negotiations

Enterprise
Procurement

Move beyond generic advice. Negotiations.AI includes a math-driven, utility-based scenario forecaster to pressure-test strategy choices, explore trade-offs, and pick the next best question.

  • Scenario exploration across outcomes, deadlines, and assumptions
  • Forecasts that make trade-offs clearer for stakeholders and approvers
  • Designed for procurement realities: renewals, price increases, payment terms, and SLAs

Configurable approval workflows

Multi-tier approvals with full context

Enterprise
Procurement

Route negotiation strategies to Finance, Legal, and executives with structured approval workflows designed for procurement governance—so decisions are fast, consistent, and auditable.

  • Multi-step routing (sequential or parallel) for faster sign-off
  • Rules based on deal value, category, geography, and risk flags
  • Re-approval triggers when key strategy elements change

Role-based access control (RBAC)

Least-privilege access for teams

Enterprise
Procurement

Give every user the right level of access—Category Managers, CoE leads, approvers, legal/finance stakeholders—without over-sharing sensitive supplier negotiations.

  • Roles, permissions, and visibility groups aligned to real org needs
  • Workspace admin controls to standardize governance and enable scale
  • SSO/SAML support for enterprise identity workflows

Category, geography & division mapping

Reporting, access, and approvals that match your structure

Enterprise
Procurement

Map negotiations to your enterprise structure so procurement analytics, access controls, and approval rules follow how your organization actually operates.

  • Admin-managed taxonomies for category, geography, and division
  • Default assignments by user; override per negotiation when needed
  • Supports segment-based workflows and executive reporting

Configurable use-case templates

Standardize prep with CoE-owned playbooks

Enterprise
Procurement

Create reusable negotiation playbooks for your most common scenarios. The AI auto-detects the negotiation type and applies the right templates so every deal starts with a proven structure.

  • Template library for renewals, supplier price increases, SLAs, and more
  • Consistent outputs: strategy canvas, talk tracks, checklists, and briefs
  • Built for repeatability across categories, regions, and teams

Collaboration in one workspace

Comments, @mentions, and shared context

Enterprise
Procurement

Keep the entire procurement deal team aligned—inside the negotiation workspace. Capture stakeholder input, decision rationale, and institutional memory where it belongs.

  • Multi-user workspaces for deal owners, approvers, and collaborators
  • In-context comments and @mentions to resolve questions quickly
  • Fewer handoffs and less back-and-forth across tools

20+ languages for global teams

AI co-piloting in the language you negotiate in

Enterprise
Procurement

Support global procurement and supplier negotiations across regions. Choose a language preference per user or organization so guidance and outputs stay consistent worldwide.

  • User + org language defaults to standardize outputs
  • Language-aware guidance that fits local negotiation norms
  • RTL language support where needed

Multi-currency with exchange-rate governance

Accurate value tracking across regions

Enterprise
Procurement

Run procurement negotiations across countries with clean reporting. Store deal values in a base currency and display them in the currencies your teams use—with governed exchange rates.

  • Org base currency and per-user display currency preferences
  • Exchange rates with validity windows for accurate conversion
  • Audit-friendly governance for rate updates

Audit log and compliance-ready workflows

Know who changed what, when

Enterprise
Procurement

Enterprise governance needs traceability. Negotiations.AI records key actions so procurement leaders can run a consistent process and support audits and reviews.

  • Audit logs for strategy edits, approvals, and admin changes
  • Retention policies aligned to plan and governance requirements
  • Feature access enforced with security-first policies

Built for teams, not just individual negotiators

Negotiations.AI supports three key roles—Category/Deal Owners, Executive Approvers, and CoE Leads—so the whole team stays aligned from strategy to signature.

Teams adds collaboration + governance (shared workspace, comments/@mentions, approvals, RBAC, audit log). Enterprise adds SSO/SAML and deeper integrations.

Category manager / deal owner

Draft the strategy, rehearse the conversation, and walk into the negotiation with confidence.

Executive approver

Review a concise strategy canvas, understand trade-offs, and approve with context.

CoE lead

Standardize templates, capture learnings, and improve negotiation capability across the org.
