Realis AI Value Accelerator for Procurement & Supply Chain

Your procurement and supply chain teams are already using AI. The question is how much of it is showing up in cost, risk and lead time, and what is holding the rest back.

Sourcing teams compare supplier terms with AI, planners run demand scenarios in Copilot, and analysts work through spend and logistics data in Claude and ChatGPT. What leadership usually cannot say is where that is genuinely improving decisions, where it is simply activity, and where supplier terms, pricing and contract material are moving through tools nobody inventoried.

This edition scores procurement and supply chain across six dimensions and hands you a prioritized path to capture more value, with the exposure that would undercut it accounted for. Fixed scope, 1.5 days, scored posture in hand by the end of the week.

Scoped to the procurement and supply chain function. Realis also lists an organization-wide AI Value Accelerator, and a separate AI Vendor Evaluation offering for assessing a specific AI tool you are considering buying.

What you get

• AI Readiness Scorecard - Scored red/yellow/green across six dimensions: value capture, usage, workforce, policy, data exposure, and vendor risk. A one-page posture you can put in front of a CPO, a COO, a board, or an insurer.
• Priority Action Brief - Your top three to five moves ranked by value gained per unit of effort, sized for the current quarter, with owner suggestions and effort estimates.
• AI Usage Map - A visual of which tools sourcing, planning, logistics and procurement operations are actually using, what supplier and contract data flows through them, and where the exposure points are.
• Path Forward Brief - An honest one-page read on where you stand, where the next increment of value is, and what makes sense next: an engagement, something you handle in-house, or you are on track and here is what to maintain.

How it works

I. Pre-Engagement Questionnaire - Completed asynchronously before the engagement day, so principal time goes to evaluation rather than information gathering. Interviews are scheduled with three to five procurement and supply chain stakeholders.

II. Discovery and Interviews - A full day: three to five structured interviews of 30 minutes each, a procurement and supply chain tool and usage inventory, and identification of your top exposure points, following a codified framework rather than free-form conversation.

III. Scoring and Evaluation - Each of the six dimensions is scored red/yellow/green against a proprietary rubric. The Usage Map is drafted and exposures ranked.

IV. Reporting and Briefing - A half day to finalize all four deliverables, closing with a 30-minute delivery briefing with your leadership.

Who this is for

• CPOs, VPs of procurement, and heads of supply chain asked to show what AI is returning
• Sourcing and planning teams using AI daily with no view of the return and no usage inventory behind it
• Groups where AI upside in analysis and contract work is real and supplier terms raise the stakes
• Procurement teams being asked to evaluate AI tools for everyone else as well as themselves
• Organizations answering AI questions from a board, a customer's procurement team, or an insurer
