The Market Intelligence Agent combines past pricing data, vendor performance history, and live market signals to build a complete picture for procurement and strategy teams. It contextualizes should-cost models, highlights anomalies, and benchmarks supplier quotes against real-world conditions. By connecting historical and current data, it gives teams the confidence to negotiate from a position of strength, even when markets are unstable

Situations & triggers
When procurement decisions need context
Procurement leaders are often forced to evaluate supplier bids with incomplete or outdated information. Without a structured way to interpret historical performance and market movements, negotiations risk being subjective or skewed by supplier claims. The Market Intelligence Agent provides the missing context by surfacing vendor history, pricing trends, and external signals in real time.

When
leadership requests justification
I want
defensible analysis so I can show why a vendor was selected
When
sourcing new suppliers
I want
historical insights so I can reduce exposure to poor performers
