What's inside
This paper draws the line between sourcing copilots and true autonomous sourcing, and shows what changes when the capacity constraint disappears entirely.
Why "autonomous" and "copilot" aren't the same category
The capability gap that decides whether your sourcing investment delivers real savings, or just a faster version of the same manual process.
The four structural barriers capping your savings
Capacity, Coverage, Repeatable Rigor, and Commercial Intelligence, and why none of them move without removing the ceiling itself.
How Fidelity Investments cut their source-to-contract time by 50%
The 6x productivity gain and 50% faster time-to-contract one global financial services team achieved by removing the capacity ceiling completely.
The question isn't whether to invest in AI for sourcing. It's whether that investment removes your team's ceiling, or just makes the same ceiling faster to hit.
We have achieved over 20% savings compared to standard rates. It took about three months to break even and, after that, it was all pure savings that boosted the company's bottom line.
