The Most Dangerous Procurement Agent Is the One That Works Perfectly

Imagine a procurement agent doing exactly what it was supposed to do. A supplier flags a delay. The agent reads the email, finds the affected PO, scans the network for alternate inventory, and reroutes the order. Twelve seconds, end to end. In a, the room nods. Someone asks about hallucinations. The vendor says the right things about guardrails. Everyone walks away reassured. The interesting question is a different one. Not whether the agent could be wrong - but what happens on the day it's completely, devastatingly right.
