Sourcing agent team splits work 80/20: agents automate, humans keep negotiation and final calls
nordic_ash · reddit · 2026-10-28
A team building procurement sourcing agents shares their production-tuned boundary: roughly 80/20. Agents draft requirements and RFx docs, find and contact suppliers, answer routine questions, normalize and compare bids, and keep records. Humans keep strategy, negotiation, exceptions and final decisions; anything binding needs explicit authorization. They ask how others draw the line — by risk, error cost, user demand — and whether production behavior has moved it.
