- Verified renewal and notice attributes
- Approved spend and utilization evidence
- Performance, risk, and owner context

01 · the contract
Start from a bounded job, not a blank chat box.
trigger
A supplier agreement enters its approved renewal review window.
owner
procurement owner
agent stops at
Business, procurement, finance, and legal owners approve the renewal or termination position.
KPI · increase
renewals decided before notice date (percent). Measure reviewed renewals with an approved decision before the verified notice deadline.
outputs
Artifacts the run must produce
- Renewal evidence scorecard
- Commercial option comparison
- Decision and negotiation brief
02 · topology
Small specialists. Named handoffs. One accountable decision.
Each stage produces an artifact another stage can inspect. The final node is a person, not an autonomous write to an external system.
- 01
intake
Validate and normalize the commercial renewal review inputs.
- 02
renewal evidence collector
Produce the renewal evidence scorecard.
- 03
commercial scenario analyst
Produce the commercial option comparison.
- 04
category manager reviewer
Challenge the commercial renewal review result and prepare an approval packet.
- 05

Business, procurement, finance, and legal owners approve the renewal or termination position.

03 · authority
Grant the run only what this case needs.
Source material is read-only. Drafts land in a case-specific output path. Tools may read or propose; the human gate owns the external write.
case inputs
workspace/procurement/commercial-renewal-review/inputs/**Read only the evidence attached to this workflow instance.
case outputs
workspace/procurement/commercial-renewal-review/outputs/**Write drafts and evidence artifacts without modifying source records.
approved tools
procurement:commercial-renewal-review:read-or-proposeInvoke only tools explicitly granted for this run; external writes remain gated.
04 · implementation
A private, bounded starting manifest.
The blueprint starts private, caps its DAG, disables replanning, and exposes no public endpoint. Add only the tools and data adapters this workflow has approved.

Evidence traceability
Every material conclusion cites an input artifact or a scoped tool result from this run.

Options use approved assumptions and preserve legal interpretation and supplier commitment decisions for authorized owners.

- 03
Approval boundary
The run stops at a proposal and records the human decision before any external side effect.
failure containment
Stop small. Preserve the evidence.
Notice terms, demand forecast, utilization, or accountable business ownership is unresolved.
Containment: Return a partial result with unresolved items; do not broaden scope or perform an external write.
Operator: Attach the missing evidence, narrow the brief, or explicitly approve a new scoped run.
A required input or tool grant is unavailable.
Containment: Stop the affected branch and preserve completed artifacts in the case output workspace.
Operator: Grant only the missing resource or continue with that branch marked out of scope.
06 · proof
Sign the run facts. Keep money in the billing ledger.
Current platform receipts sign caller identity or classification, skill, bounded input evidence, verified grant IDs when present, outcome or result preview, and timing. Optional file, tool, artifact, handoff, evaluation, and review fields require separate instrumentation and are not populated by default. Price, fees, payouts, and later human approvals remain separate platform records.
The example uses only fields populated by the current platform sealing paths. It is illustrative, not a record of a real customer run.
