Use cases

The vendor situations that matter most

Each one is a worked example on the demo organisation, Northwind Labs, and its fictional vendors, with the screens at every step: what the requester asks, what the agents prepare, what each reviewer sees and decides.

Procurement & security

Bringing in an AI vendor

Support wants an AI tool that drafts replies from ticket history. Six lanes, the AI questionnaire, and terms that let the vendor train on your data.

one sentence → tier 2 → 6 lanes → AI questionnaire → conditions
Security

Reading a SOC 2 report in minutes

Type, period, opinion, exceptions, CUECs and subservice organisations, each with its page — and the Type I with a future-dated period.

upload → extract → findings with pages → CUECs
Legal & privacy

The contract the playbook catches

Ten clauses checked, eight deviations, a proposed redline for each, approved by a lawyer in the agent inbox.

MSA → playbook → 8 deviations → redlines
Risk

When a vendor is breached

A credential-stuffing incident at a vendor holding customer data becomes a re-assessment, sized to its tier.

signal → reaction → re-assessment → renewal
Vendor risk

The SOC report that quietly expired

An accounts-payable vendor’s SOC 1 expired in September. Validity, signals and bridge letters keep assurance current.

expiry → signal → finding → request
Procurement & finance

The renewal that comes with a recommendation

Renew, renegotiate or offboard — decided before the notice date, with spend, risk trend and findings.

notice date −90 → recommendation → decision
Procurement

You may already have this

A second call-recording tool caught at intake, and the request that becomes a new use instead.

sentence → duplicate → new use
Risk

Fourth parties and concentration risk

Subprocessors and subservice organisations turn a vendor list into a graph.

DPA + SOC → fourth parties → concentration
By role

What each person gets out of it

Requesters

Ask once, see where it is

One sentence, a status page, and an answer in days rather than weeks.

Reviewers

A prepared decision

Findings with pages, a score with reasons and redlines drafted — check, change, decide.

Procurement & finance

Spend and renewals in hand

Duplicates caught at intake, renewals before notice, spend under management by tier.

Risk, compliance & audit

A defensible programme

Tiering, due diligence, monitoring and exit recorded per vendor and exported as evidence.

Bring one vendor and its SOC 2 report

We run the intake, the review lanes, the document findings with page citations, the risk score and the renewal recommendation on your own vendor — in an hour.
