WHAT’S INSIDE

Six Tearsheets. One clear framework.

• The difference between point agents and true agentic AI flows
• Two design traps that both lead to AI-Exposed
• The hidden cost structure nobody calculates — until it’s too late
• The four pillars of AI-Enabled procurement
• A five-question diagnostic to find out exactly where you stand
• The path from AI-Exposed to AI-Enabled

“Are you AI-Enabled — or are you AI-Exposed? The organisations investing the most aggressively in procurement AI right now are, in many cases, building the most fragile foundations.”

— Aatish Dedhia, Founder & CEO, Zycus Keynote · Zycus Horizon EU & UK 2026

This framework was presented live at Horizon EU & UK 2026, followed by a live product demonstration of end-to-end agentic procurement flows by the Zycus product team.

Find out where you stand.

Two or more ‘no’ answers to the five diagnostic questions means you are not AI-Enabled. You are AI-Exposed. The report tells you exactly what to do next.
