What changes

  1. Comparing quotes and building summary tables takes minutes

AI drafts, the person decides

How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.

  • Gathers public information about suppliers, with links
  • Summarizes a contract and flags the points worth raising with an attorney
  • Prepares arguments and a plan for the negotiation
You check itRead it, check the facts, fix it. Without this check the draft goes nowhere.
You decide and stay responsible

What stays with the person

  • Negotiations and relationships with suppliers
  • Choosing the supplier, and responsibility for price, quality and delivery dates
  • Legal review of the contract: that's an attorney's job, and AI only helps you understand it
  • Checking that a supplier is reliable against official sources, such as state business registries
