A business case procurement
leaders can defend.
Negotiations.AI isn’t “AI for beginners.” For experienced negotiators, the value is scaling judgment: faster approvals, fewer rewrites, consistent prep, and pressure-tested trade-offs.
Where ROI comes from
The “AI” is not the point. The point is a repeatable workflow that turns expert judgment into consistent outputs.
Faster prep, less rework
Turn messy notes into structured briefs, trade packages, and talk tracks—then iterate quickly instead of rewriting from scratch.
Faster stakeholder alignment
Capture constraints and approvals (Finance/Legal/Security) early, so deals don’t bounce back-and-forth at the end.
Best practices at scale
Standardize templates and negotiation playbooks across categories so senior expertise becomes repeatable output.
Governance you can defend
Approvals, RBAC, and audit logs help procurement leaders run a consistent process and support reviews.
If you need a simple business case narrative
- Baseline your prep time, approval cycle time, and rework rate (number of revisions)
- Track time saved per negotiation and stakeholder hours avoided
- Capture governance benefits: audit trails, consistent templates, fewer “tribal knowledge” gaps
- Optionally track outcome lift: concession discipline, better trade packages, fewer last-minute escalations

Tip: For senior negotiators, the biggest gains are often cycle-time compression (approvals, fewer rewrites) and scaling best practices across the team—not just prep time.
