RGI Source-to-Pay

Automation Assurance for Procure-to-Pay

Six things break in source-to-pay. Six mechanisms fix them. Your three-way match can't read a contract clause. Commodity shocks cascade from requisition to invoice. Maverick spend leaks through the gaps between SAP and your compliance tool. Your touchless rate hasn't moved in three years. No vendor publishes a verified-outcome ledger. And supplier concentration risk hides until it's a headline. Four views — each one solves a different pair.

Automation Assurance

Your touchless rate is stuck at ~30% (Ardent 2025: 32.6%, barely changed from 2023) — the boundary calls resist automation because the right answer depends on context no rule has
RGI breaks the ceiling: automation assurance — starts at zero, grows class by class as verified accuracy proves each boundary call
The third line (dotted orange) is RGI without the accuracy floor — it learns faster but chases noise. The gate is why the solid line holds
And the proof for the CFO: every auto-decision in a signed ledger — accuracy floor, dollar ceiling, pause-and-rollback

This demo runs on synthetic PO data. In production, the same scorer reads live SAP (EKPO/EBAN/MIGO), Celonis P2P process-mining signals, and commodity feeds — spanning requisition through three-way match and payment. No model retraining required.

Commodity Shock Response

Copper spikes 25% — and it doesn't just break three-way match. It triggers off-contract panic buying, pulls in alternate suppliers who may be on a restricted-party list, and surfaces invoice exceptions weeks later
The three-way match is blind to why the number moved — rule sees 5.2% > 5.0%, rejects. But copper moved +4.8%, and contract §7.3 allows pass-through to 110%

Touchless Rate Trajectory

The CPO metric: touchless order rate — POs clearing requisition, three-way match, and payment without a buyer touch
This is the financial translation of the first two views — accuracy becomes spend, the accuracy floor becomes cost avoidance
Industry benchmark: 32.6% average, 49.2% best-in-class (Ardent 2025). Teams above 60% show 3.5× higher AP productivity (Hackett 2025)
The escalated/held band = maverick-spend intercepts and compliance holds — what a rules-plus-agent workflow leaves on the table

Spend Governance & Compliance

Invoice in SAP, clause in contract repo, sanctions in compliance tool — nobody connects shock → off-contract PO → restricted-party alternate
Maverick spend: ~$25M per $1B for bottom performers (APQC). BEC fraud: $2.8B in 2024 (FBI IC3). Supplier concentration: $210B in lost auto revenue from invisible single-source exposure (AlixPartners 2021)

Snapshot from the development copilot, early in learning — compliance evidence and performance/summary — 50/50 invoices flagged is expected: the copilot is in early learning (α=1.0, accuracy floor GREEN) and errs toward flagging. As accuracy compounds, the auto-approve rate (currently 36.36%) climbs and the compliance funnel above narrows. The interception funnel in this sub-demo models the same mechanism at scale.

Automation assurance is the flagship of RGI Source-to-Pay, part of the Compounding Intelligence platform. The copilot sits across requisition, PO disposition, goods receipt, invoice matching, and payment — growing the share of PO spend it processes straight-through under a dollar ceiling and a monitored accuracy floor. When commodity prices shift, it pauses the affected spend categories back to your buyers until it relearns the new price landscape. Off-contract (maverick) spend is intercepted before it becomes an invoice exception; restricted-party and sanctions screening runs on every PO — the two costliest P2P failure modes that agentic workflows treat as separate tool calls.
