Procurement intake & approval routing

Procurement intake — vendor contracts requested, reviewed, approved, and signed — is ad hoc; contracts get signed then forgotten.

Vitals (seed — unverified): market: broad mid-market spend · every vendor contract · buyer: ops / legal-ops / finance · model: subscription · whitespace: ★★☆

Seed thesis only — not yet researched to evidence standard. Every claim below is a SPECULATIVE starting hypothesis to be verified, sharpened, or killed during the deep dive.

Seed thesis

• The mess: Unstructured intake requests; manual approval routing; review against policy; handoff to signature with no tracking.
• Why now: Reachable buyers and public rules; agents can route, review against a playbook, and act — natural front door to CLM.
• The money: Broad horizontal pain; recurring.
• Whitespace: CLM-adjacent and somewhat crowded; the agentic intake angle is open.
