New here? Pick your category below, then move across the tabs — strategy, negotiation, risk, AI disruption and market pulse all load on their own, and refresh when you change region. Curated categories (★) carry verified, source-tagged benchmarks. A thinking aid, not a decision; never paste confidential data.

Sources & methodology

The Procurement Lens runs on public information only — no confidential or company data is ever used. Here is how each layer is built.

Rate benchmarks & credibility tiers
Every benchmark carries its source, as-of date and a credibility tier — T1 official · T2 index/survey · T3 analyst · T4 estimate — each linked to its primary source, so you can see how much weight it bears. Drawn from public 2026 research: Gartner (IT), GBTA & Amex GBT (travel & events), Drewry & Xeneta (freight), WFA & WARC (media), Marsh GIMI (insurance), ESOMAR (research), IQVIA (CRO), BVRLA (fleet), US BLS/FRED, SIA, Mordor & IBISWorld and more.
Charts & curated frameworks
Kraljic positioning plots a category's sub-categories (not an 'overall' point) by profit impact and supply risk; comparison charts and magnitude bars render verified figures with their source and date. The reactive-vs-proactive maturity ladder, pricing/commercial models and should-cost drivers are curated analyst frameworks — structured judgement, not AI output.
Supplier landscape & disruptors
Publicly known market leaders by region, plus the challengers and disruptors reshaping each category — shown as context, not endorsements, and not a vendor shortlist.
Supplier risk radar
An inherent-risk fingerprint per category from standard public frameworks (financial, operational, geopolitical, concentration, compliance & labour, ESG, cyber); the region you pick adjusts the scores. Not a verdict on any named supplier.
Market Pulse
A dated top-5 of recent developments, forecasts and analyst viewpoints per category — curated from public sources and point-in-time, each linked to its origin.
AI narrative
Strategy, negotiation, risk and briefing text is written by Claude, grounded on the verified benchmarks above and the inputs you give, and loads automatically as you switch category, tab or region. It can be wrong — treat it as a thinking aid and validate before acting.
Your data
Nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere beyond producing the on-screen response. Never paste confidential data.

All figures are point-in-time (see the dates and tiers shown) and skew toward larger-account / managed-programme benchmarks. Validate against primary sources before acting.
