Section 1
The premise
AI can draft a vendor renewal decision memo 90 days out with usage facts, switching-cost estimates, and three options scored on cost, risk, and speed.
What AI does well here
- Aggregate seat usage, support ticket volume, and feature dependency across teams.
- Estimate true switching cost including data migration, retraining, and integration rebuild.
What AI cannot do
- Predict whether the vendor will hold the line on a 30 percent uplift this cycle.
- Replace the procurement conversation where the relationship is renegotiated face-to-face.
