    Price volatility is a reality. Global events can drive costs up overnight — but what happens when conditions stabilize? Too often, elevated prices remain, inflation takes hold, and buyers are unaware that the original cost drivers have subsided, leaving potential savings on the table.

    How can you push back on price increases if you don’t understand what caused them in the first place?

    Join Daniela Osio, CEO and Co-Founder of Kloopify, for an insightful discussion on how understanding the details of what you’re buying equips you to manage volatility, challenge outdated price hikes, and use data-driven insights to unlock meaningful cost savings for your organization.

    As GenAI tools become more accessible, legal, procurement, & supply chain teams face a growing challenge: cutting through the hype to identify what truly delivers. In high-stakes, high-volume contract environments, not all AI-powered redlining tools are created equal. Choosing the wrong solution can introduce risk, inconsistency, & operational slowdowns.

    Inconsistent reviews aren’t just a nuisance; they’re a liability. Whether working with NDAs, MSAs, or complex vendor agreements, a single missed clause or off-brand edit can lead to costly legal & operational consequences. For those focused on efficiency and third-party risk mitigation, scalable & repeatable AI-assisted reviews are essential—not optional.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Why general-purpose AI struggles with contract consistency, traceability, and risk management.
    • How to evaluate the 3 core factors that impact an AI redline tool’s reliability.
    • The 5 essential quality attributes that define trustworthy, negotiation-ready output.
    • What questions to ask vendors to protect your team from inconsistent results and hidden risk.
    • How to align redline AI capabilities with your contracting volume, review processes, and strategic goals.
