Flagship offer · Procurement AI Audit
Twelve years on the operator side, strategic sourcing, digital transformations, process redesign, now every one of them augmented by AI. I interview your decision-makers (CPO, CFO, IT/data) and your operational buyers, I open their real files in session, I analyse your spend and current AI usage, and I co-build with your procurement sponsor a clear vision of the augmented buyer in your context: quantified, deliverable, defensible.
Why this matters · the failure mode I want to avoid
The report is correct, but it was never yours. You don't carry the recommendations because you didn't live the reasoning, and no one on your team knows what to do on Monday morning.
I have twelve years on the operator side: strategic sourcing, major digital transformations, process redesign. The audit is the same work, augmented by AI in the loop. I interview your decision-makers, cross-reference their words with your data, co-build with your procurement sponsor a vision of the augmented buyer in your context, and demonstrate what AI changes on a real file in session, not in a slide. On exit, you don't defend a deliverable. You carry a trajectory.
Two reads, one audit
Same interviews, same data, two read entries that answer the questions each person actually asks.
What the report is for
Nobody reads an 80-page report. But everyone wants a clear answer to these six questions, the ones that decide whether you invest, how, and with whom.
Effort × impact mapping of 8 to 12 use cases on your scope. Discarded cases are documented (why not, under which conditions later).
2 to 3 pilot cases selected with owner, KPI, deadline. Internal load estimated per case, defensible in budget framing.
3 numbered scenarios (conservative · likely · optimistic). Payback in months on your baseline. Budget framing of the following Programme with range.
Procurement AI governance charter in 3 pages: what is delegated, what is tracked, where escalation happens. Compatible with your current operating model.
Risk matrix (data, GDPR, supplier, vendor lock-in) prioritised on your context. Concrete guard-rails. Joint read with your CISO/DPO when needed.
Narrated vision of a buyer day in 12 months. Tools used, decisions made with AI, decisions still owned by humans. Validated with your procurement sponsor.
The method · week by week
Each week has an intermediate delivery, you know what is happening, what the final deliverable looks like, and you validate continuously.
A 90-min framing session with your procurement sponsor. We align on the exact scope, the 6 questions to dig into, the 5 to 7 people to interview. You give me access to your data (spend, supplier base, recent contracts, existing AI usage). I plan interviews for W2.
CPO, CFO, IT/data lead, 2 to 3 operational buyers, and the optional adds (business department, AP if relevant, CISO). The C-level interviews give me the mandate. With the operational buyers I don't just listen, I open one of their real files (a contract, a brief, an invoice) and we build a first AI workflow on it, in their tool, in the session. Indexed transcripts. In parallel, I start the data analysis.
Interviews × data cross-reference. Identification of 8 to 12 priority AI use cases on your scope. ROI model in 3 scenarios. Risk matrix. Co-construction workshop with your procurement sponsor to formalise the augmented-buyer vision, not a deliverable I throw over the wall.
Report + executive summary sent 48 h before the restitution. 90-min restitution session to your steering committee with two reads: CPO then CFO. Your procurement sponsor co-leads, they carry the vision internally. Decisions made in session. Quarterly 12-month roadmap, signed by the sponsor.
People I talk to · and build with
The C-level interviews give the mandate. The operational interviews give the ground truth, and they are where I co-build, in session, the first useful AI workflows on your real cases. The list below mixes both. Pick what fits, AP is optional unless your invoice flow is a known pain point.
Mandate, ambitions, perceived blockers, team in place, current governance. 12-month target vision.
Mandatory · default sponsor
Financial vision, ROI expectations, risk sensitivity, budget constraints over 12–24 months.
Mandatory · co-sponsor recommended
Field reality. We don't just talk, I open one of their real files (a contract, a sourcing brief, a supplier exchange) and we build a first AI workflow on it, in their tool, in the session. That is what makes the recommendations defensible later.
Mandatory · co-build in session
State of the procurement IS, supplier data quality, compliance constraints, existing IT partnerships (Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI).
Mandatory
A sensitive prescriber department (R&D, marketing, IT, ops…). Their feeling about procurement, their expectations of AI in their own flows. Aligns the vision with those who consume your services.
Optional · high value
P2P flow reality, pain points on invoices, exceptions, what takes time every month. We add it if your invoice flow is a known pain point or you want to test AI on a back-office process. Otherwise, skip.
Optional · on demand
Security framework, data classification, constraints on external LLMs. Essential if you handle sensitive contracts or IP.
Conditional · sector-dependent
The element that makes the difference
An AI audit delivered over the wall does not get carried internally. Your procurement sponsor (CPO or equivalent) co-builds the vision with me, validates trade-offs, and carries the trajectory to your steering committee. That is what makes the deliverable real, not just correct.
Your procurement sponsor
The procurement sponsor is the person who will still be there in 6 months, when the audit needs to translate into lived decisions. I cannot replace them. So I work WITH them, every trade-off in the report goes through their read, every use case is validated against their operational reality, and the restitution is co-led with two voices.
The benefit is double: (1) the deliverable is anchored in your reality, (2) the sponsor becomes your internal AI procurement expert, they defend the trajectory in the steering committee long after I am gone.
The sponsor defines with me the exact scope, the 6 questions to dig into, the interviewee profiles. They know where the internal blind spots are.
A dedicated session to formalise together what an augmented buyer looks like with you. Not a generic slide: a concrete description, validated by the person who must deploy it.
In the steering committee, the sponsor opens, closes, and commits their credibility. I am there to defend the method and the numbers. The trajectory remains carried by them, not by a firm that leaves.
The sponsor drives what comes next, with or without me. If they choose the Programme, I continue. If they prefer internal execution, the report and the vision belong to them, they have everything to carry it.
Why me
Strategic sourcing, S2P deployments, BI stacks, P2P flows, supplier governance: twelve years of operator work on indirect procurement. Now every block runs with AI in the loop. I build it every day, on my own stack, and I demonstrate it during the audit, not in a slide.
The audit is the step where that experience meets your context, with AI as the multiplier. Target: a strategic function, AI on the repetitive load, buyers on the trade-offs no one else can make. That is the augmented buyer.
Offer ladder · cascading credits
The audit is the main offer. You can approach it via the Workshop (light test) or follow up with the Programme (execution). At each step up, what you paid below is fully credited if you decide within 90 days.
We take a specific process from your daily work and see how to improve it with AI, together, in session.
→ credited on the AuditThe subject of this page. Interviews, data, ROI, vision, roadmap. CPO + CFO read. Steering restitution.
→ credited on the ProgrammeExecution of the roadmap. Steering + team, upskilling, governance, internal capacity. Optional.
−€10,949 if full cascadeSimple rule: each credit applies if you step up within 90 days. You can stop at any tier, the commitment stays strictly tier by tier. Most clients come directly through the Audit; the Workshop is for those who want to test first.

FAQ
€9,999 corresponds to 8 to 10 days of effective delivery: 1 day framing, 2 days interviews, 3 days analysis + writing + sponsor workshop, 1 day restitution + follow-up. It is the minimum threshold to produce a rigorous deliverable co-built with your sponsor.
More expensive (€25k+), you pay for a brand and slides. Cheaper (€3-5k), you buy a botched deliverable. At €9,999 with full credit on the Programme, it is the most honest signal I have found.
We discuss it at framing. Without an identified sponsor, the audit loses half its value (the executable half), it becomes theoretical. Either we wait for you to identify the sponsor, or we start with the 90-min Workshop to discover together who fits at your place. The Workshop is credited if we follow up with the audit.
AP is optional, not default. We add it when your invoice flow is a known pain point, high non-PO volume, recurring exceptions, late-payment penalties, or a P2P deployment under way, or when you specifically want to test AI on a back-office process during the audit. Otherwise, we skip it, AP is not where most procurement-AI value sits for every organisation.
When we do include it, it tends to be one of the highest-impact interviews: the repetitive friction surfaces fast, and we can co-build a first AI workflow on a real invoice flow in the session.
Data needed: your spend for the last 12 months (by category and by supplier), your supplier master (referential + ranking), 3 to 5 anonymised representative contracts, the list of AI usages already deployed if any.
Protection: mutual NDA signed before any access. Data stored on encrypted EU instance. No data used to train models or shared with third parties. Deletion D+90 after restitution, or sooner on request.
Three contractual commitments: (1) the 4 deliverables (report, exec summary, co-led restitution, signed roadmap); (2) the 3-4 week deadline from kickoff (except client-side delay); (3) a projected ROI in 3 argued scenarios, each number tied to a verifiable hypothesis, not to a generic benchmark.
If any of the three is not met, the audit is refunded 100% with no conditions.
The Audit is invoiced as consulting (not training), so not OPCO-eligible. It is, however, invoiced normally on your Procurement or Finance budget. Procurementor is a French company, invoices in EUR ex. VAT (20% VAT).
