Can the AI change my vendor data?

No. The AI only reads your data to perform analysis. It cannot edit, delete, or modify your original records.

Does the AI automatically send emails to my suppliers?

No. The AI identifies the risk and flags it for you, but you must decide when and how to contact the vendor.

How often does it check for at-risk vendors?

The AI checks whenever you ask it to or when you trigger a new analysis through your AI client.

Can I set my own performance thresholds?

Yes. You can tell your AI what specific metrics or levels constitute a 'risk' for your specific business.

What happens if a vendor has no recent data?

The AI will flag the lack of data as an anomaly or a risk, as it cannot verify if the vendor is performing well without recent metrics.
